Abstract:
Perfectly diffuse sound fields play an important role in architectural acoustics and there are established theoretical characterizations of perfect diffuseness. Although sound fields in real rooms are diffuse to some extent, they are not perfectly diffuse, and therefore theories are required to describe pseudo-perfectly diffuse sound fields. Here, we aim to spatially characterize pseudo-perfect diffuseness via directional characterization of that, finite-degree spherical harmonic diffuseness. Our results show that finite-degree diffuse sound fields yield local spatial diffuseness, suggesting that spatial pseudo-perfect diffuseness is characterized using the effective radius of diffuseness.
