Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of acoustic communication, in particular to a spatial multiplexing method of non-periodic acoustic signals in a two-dimensional fluctuation system.

Background

Acoustic communication is of great importance in the field of signal transmission, for example, in underwater exploration, sound waves play a non-negligible role as the main medium for transferring energy in the processes of signal conversion, transmission and reception. Wavelength division multiplexing, time division multiplexing and OAM multiplexing technology based on orbital angular momentum are the main transmission technologies for realizing the spatial multiplexing of acoustic signals. However, the current multiplexing techniques have some problems, which limit their development. The first working mechanism of multiplexing techniques involves the encoding and decoding of information, i.e. the signals need to be processed and converted on the transmit and receive planes, making the whole process very complex. In addition, the signal density cannot be sufficiently compressed in consideration of the presence of the diffraction limit. Meanwhile, the transmission distance is also limited along with larger energy attenuation in the signal transmission process. These problems all affect the communication efficiency, and are urgent problems to be solved in the field of acoustic communication.

Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) have gained considerable attention in recent years as a particular mode of acoustic wave propagation that supports propagation at solid-solid, solid-liquid or liquid-liquid interfaces, with the propagation direction parallel to the surface and the amplitude decaying exponentially in the direction perpendicular to the interface. According to the characteristic of the elastic wave that the propagation speed of the surface wave is much lower than that of the optical wave, the elastic wave is often used as a delay line to slow down the transmission speed of the electrical signal and facilitate the processing of the signal. Compared with the propagation condition of sound waves in air or water, when the surface acoustic waves are propagated on the surface acoustic wave device, the equivalent wave vector is larger, and based on the diffraction limit correlation theory, the transmission of sound signals with higher information density characteristics becomes possible. Due to the strong coupling between the surface acoustic wave device and the contact medium, the acoustic wave can be localized at the interface, the loss is small, and the possibility of long-distance transmission of signals is provided. Some on-chip acoustic signal transmission efforts have been implemented in conjunction with surface acoustic waves. With the introduction of metamaterials, a new pseudo surface acoustic wave (SSAWs) concept was proposed, and many new acoustic phenomena were presented. Different from the traditional surface acoustic wave device, the SSAW device has the most remarkable characteristic that the dispersion characteristic of the latter depends on the geometric parameter of a structure rather than the material parameter, so that the propagation direction of the acoustic wave can be controlled by designing the structural characteristic of a transmission medium, a propagation path is further designed, and the diffraction-free propagation of the wave is even realized. The characteristic of artificial structure subwavelength also provides possibility for miniaturization of the SSAW device, and is expected to realize more complex signal transmission in the field of chips.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The invention provides a spatial multiplexing method of non-periodic acoustic signals in a two-dimensional fluctuation system, and as shown in fig. 1, the invention is a schematic diagram of the principle of realizing the spatial multiplexing of the non-periodic acoustic signals in the two-dimensional fluctuation system. The method comprises the steps that an acceleration wave packet which meets Airy-talbot effect distribution is emitted at a sound source by using a loudspeaker line array, and non-periodic sound signals are coded into Airy sound beams and transmitted by accurately modulating the amplitude and the phase of each channel. Then, the super surface formed by the Helmholtz resonant cavity converts incident waves into surface-like waves, and acoustic communication with higher spatial density is realized. Due to the interference of the acoustic waves, the signal will recover the acoustic intensity distribution at the source from the imaging plane. A microphone is positioned at the receiving plane for receiving the aperiodic surface acoustic wave signal delivered by the acoustic source. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1: and constructing a surface acoustic wave transmission device based on a super surface.

The surface wave transmission device is composed of a helmholtz resonant cavity with periodic openings, as shown in fig. 2, and has the dimensions: the lattice constant of the resonant cavity is 2cm, and the height is 0.55 cm; the bottom surface of the inner cavity is square, the side length is 1.8cm, and the depth is 0.35 cm; the wall thickness was uniformly 0.1 cm. The size setting ensures the minimum volume under the condition of meeting the 3D printing precision; as thin as possible in height, highlighting the features of its subwavelength device; and ensures that viscosity has little effect on acoustic transmission.

Step 2: and obtaining a corresponding dispersion relation based on the structural parameters of the surface acoustic wave transmission device, and determining an equivalent propagation wave vector.

Regardless of the viscous loss in air, the dispersion relation of the structure is:

wherein k is_xIs the propagation wave number, ω is the angular frequency, f is the operating frequency, C_HRAnd M_HRIs the acoustic volume and mass of the helmholtz resonator, describing the elastic properties and the inertia measure of the system, respectively. From the above equation, it can be seen that the equivalent propagating wave vector k_xDepending on the geometrical parameters of the structure. The working frequency selected in the invention is 3170Hz, namely the equivalent wave vector is 78.5m^-1Far larger than the equivalent wave vector 58.1m in air^-1The description shows that when the surface wave device is used for acoustic communication, the equivalent wave vector is smaller, the diffraction limit can be further broken through, and acoustic transmission with higher information density is realized.

And step 3: and determining a propagation path based on the equivalent propagation wave vector.

Since the Airy beam has the property of self-acceleration, the spatial multiplexing method proposed by the present invention allows acoustic signals to travel along curved paths. The transmission path satisfaction relation obtained by theoretical calculationWherein k is equivalent propagation wave vector, and k is 78.5m calculated in step 2^-1. b is a transverse magnification, and b is 15 in the invention.

And 4, step 4: the spatial separation of the acoustic channels and the positions of the emitting and receiving surfaces are determined based on the equivalent propagating wave vectors.

Based on Airy-Talbot effect, namely through interference superposition of two Airy sound beams, the sound intensity of a sound source can continuously self-image within a certain distance along a curved track. In a homogeneous and isotropic medium, the airy beam can be expressed as:

wherein, c_nIs an arbitrary coefficient, Ai is an Airy function, x and y are orthogonal unit vectors in a rectangular coordinate system, and i is an imaginary unit. Furthermore, analogy to the Talbot effect is to superimpose airy beams at periodic intervals, the sound field can be expressed as:

where Δ is the spatial separation between the different airy beams. From the above formula, when the transmission transverse distance is equal toWhen this occurs, the acoustic signal is recovered. Acoustic communication based on Airy-Talbot effect, where the non-periodic signal follows a curved path y ═ x²Is transmitted atThe signal recovery is realized at the position, the position of the transmitting surface is 0,i.e. the position of the receiving surface. When the transmission distance isWhen the image is generated, the self-imaging phenomenon occurs, and the sound field distribution is consistent with the source position. WhereinIs the equivalent lateral periodic spacing. Selecting sound channels in the inventionThe spatial distance Deltax is 0.45m, namely the self-imaging distance is 0.65 m. It is determined that x is 0m and x is 0.65 m.

And 5: and (5) building a sound emission surface, and determining the amplitude and phase distribution of the sound emission surface.

The sound emitting surface is composed of 26 1-inch loudspeakers to form a linear array for emitting sound signals, and the sound source is 112cm in length, 5cm in height and 0.8cm in thickness. Each channel needs to satisfy a corresponding discrete amplitude and phase according to the needs of the experimental transmitted signal (taking the spatial multiplexing of the sequences 10 and 11 as an example). The amplitudes were discretized to 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8Pa, while the phase discretizations were 0 and pi, for 10 permutations. On the basis, the invention accurately sends the signals to each loudspeaker unit by utilizing the single chip microcomputer, thereby realizing accurate modulation at the sound source. Two signal sequences (1,1) and (1,0) are encoded into the transmission beam by determining the amplitude and phase of the transmission surface.

Step 6: the spatially multiplexed non-periodic acoustic signals are measured at the receiving face.

Scanning of the sound field of the receiving surface was performed by using an 1/4-inch microphone (Type) is completed point by point. The reliability of the spatial multiplexing method provided by the invention is verified by comparing the sound field distribution of the receiving surface and the transmitting surface. Based on the air-talbot effect, the original sound intensity distribution can be restored after the sound signal is transmitted for one period. Experiments prove that the sound intensity distribution consistent with the sound emission position can be received on the receiving surface.

The present invention also takes into account the effect of non-uniformity of the transmission medium on acoustic communication. The Airy beam has unique self-healing characteristics, can keep the shape after long-distance transmission, and ensures the integrity of signals without being influenced by obstacles. To investigate the effect of a certain size object on this acoustic communication, a cylinder with a radius of 0.08m was placed at the coordinate position (x 0.1m, y 0.6m) to block the main lobe of the Airy beam. By comparing the sound pressure distribution on the receiving surface and the transmitting surface, we can conclude that the spatial multiplexing transmission method of the non-periodic sound signal is still effective under the condition of obstacles.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the Airy-talbot effect. Fig. 3(a) is a spatial sound field distribution of a single airy beam. FIG. 3(b) is a diagram showing the distribution of two spatially superimposed acoustic fields of Airy beams with a lateral separation of 0.45 m. Fig. 3(c) shows the sound field distribution at the position corresponding to the broken line (self-imaging plane) in fig. 3 (b). As can be seen from fig. 3, the sound intensity at the self-imaging position satisfies the same distribution as that of the sound source due to the interference of the waves, which is the theoretical basis of the present invention. Another important feature that can be observed from the above formula, i.e. the Airy-Talbot effect, does not require the signal to have periodicity, which greatly relaxes the constraints of the transmitted signal.

Fig. 4 is a comparison of sound source sizes when acoustic communication is performed in air and on surface wave-like devices, respectively. The two curves in the comparison graph can be concluded, the size of the sound source can be further compressed by using the surface wave device, and meanwhile, the device can transmit signals with higher information density, so that the diffraction limit limitation existing in the conventional acoustic communication work is broken through.

Fig. 5 is a real shot of the experimental system. Wherein the surface wave device is built by 3D printing, the solid material is selected from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and the density is 1180kg/m³The speed of sound is 2700 m/s. The surrounding of the device is filled with sound absorbing material to perfectly absorb the scattered sound waves. The entire sound field was scanned by using an 1/4 inch microphone (Type) is done point by point. An array of 26 1-inch loudspeakers was used at the source to form a line to perfectly simulate the incident sound waves. Each channel needs to satisfy a corresponding discrete amplitude and phase according to the needs of the experimental transmit signal (exploring the spatial multiplexing of the sequences 10 and 11). The amplitudes are discretized into 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8Pa while the phases are discretized into 0 and pi, and 10 collocation types are provided. On the basis, the invention accurately sends the signals to each loudspeaker unit by utilizing the single chip microcomputer, thereby realizing accurate modulation at the sound source.

Fig. 6(a) and (b) respectively illustrate the digital coding and spatial multiplexing processes of different source sequences in the experiment by taking sequences (1,1) and (0, 1) as examples. The invention measures the absolute sound pressure distribution in the rectangular area above the surface wave-like device through experiments, and the experimental result is well matched with the simulation result.

To quantitatively investigate the effect of spatial multiplexing of signals, the present invention further measured normalized absolute sound pressures along three specific planes, x 0.05m, x 0.25m and from imaging plane x 0.65 m. Where the smooth curve represents the theoretical simulation value and the dotted line represents the experimental measurement. As shown in fig. 6, the intensity distribution measured on three planes is more consistent with the simulation result. For sequence (1,1), two peaks, both greater than 0.5, were accurately measured on the measurement line. For signal (0, 1), a sound pressure amplitude peak of about 0.6Pa was received at y 0.5m, while almost no sound pressure signal was measured at y 0 m. In particular, the intensity distribution on the self-imaging plane is similar to the intensity distribution at the acoustic source, which further confirms that the proposed method can accurately receive different non-periodic signal sequences on the receiving plane.

Based on the characteristic of the diffraction-free sound beam, the invention can improve the anti-interference capability of the sound communication. The specific operation method is to place a cylinder with a radius of 0.08m on the path of the acoustic communication (x is 0.1m, y is 0.6m), and take the (1,1) sequence as an example for transmission, and the position of the obstacle is just to block the main lobe of one of the airy beams. As can be seen from a comparison of the experimental and theoretical results in fig. 7(c), two main peaks can still be clearly observed on the observation line regardless of the presence or absence of an obstacle. The smooth curve represents the theoretical simulation value and the dotted line represents the experimental measurement. In fig. 7(a) and (b), the simulation result diagram specifically shows the evolution process of signal transmission, and the main lobe of the airy beam is partially blocked by a circular obstacle and then recovered after passing through the obstacle. As the propagation distance increases, the convergence rate slows down until it disappears, the main lobe regenerates and the signal recovers.
