Acoustic measurement basics

Acoustic measurement basics

Acoustic measurement basics

(OP)
I've been trying to explain to a colleague (via email) what is meant by fractional octave analysis and what a centre frequency is.  My first thought was to simply point him at a web link (with pictures and things) but couldn't find one.

Anyone got any good links?  I don't fancy drawing my own pictures if I can avoid it.

Wow!  I have a paper copy of that booklet (also measuring vibration).  I was thinking of scanning bits of it but thought it might not be legal.  Thanks.

Actually, just poking around their site, this is a great source of info for newbies (or oldbies with bad or incomplete memories): http://www.bksv.com/2148.asp

RE: Acoustic measurement basics

B&K was always a good source for acoustic and vibration information and equipment, even when I was using General Radio equipment in years past.

B&K also have a continuing series of web seminars that are very well-done and easily understandable covering everything from how a microphone works to the basics of FFT analysis.
I find there's always something to be learned in them,  and I recommend them highly.
