As derived in §C.18.4, the wave impedance (for volume velocity)
at frequency
rad/sec in a converging cone is given by
|
(C.173) |
where
is the distance to the apex of the cone,
is the
cross-sectional area, and
is the wave impedance in open air. A
cylindrical tube is the special case
, giving
, independent of position in the tube. Under
normal assumptions such as pressure continuity and flow conservation at the
cylinder-cone junction (see, e.g.,
[302]), the junction reflection transfer
function (reflectance) seen from the cylinder looking into the cone is
derived to be
|
(C.174) |
(where
is the Laplace transform variable which generalizes
)
while the junction transmission transfer function
(transmittance) to the right is given by
|
(C.175) |
The reflectance and transmittance from the right of the junction are the
same when there is no wavefront area discontinuity at the junction
[302]. Both
and
are first-order
transfer functions: They each have a single real pole at
.
Since this pole is in the right-half plane, it corresponds to an unstable
one-pole filter.
