Abstract
This article presents a method for determining a reflection coefficient of sound waves inc ident normally or obliquely at a plane interface. Only the modulus of the reflection coefficient is evaluated through the spectra of the incident and reflected waves ; its phase is determined as a result of the splitting-up of the modulus by the calculation of natural logarithm of its Hilbert transformation. The reason for this procedure depends on the properties of linear systems at minimal dephasing. The various steps of the calculation are presented: the discrete Hilbert transformation of the amplitudes, extrapolation of the modulus and final verification of the hypothesis of minimal dephasing.The principal interest of this method is the avoidance of defining a phase reference plane, a hazardous definition notably in the case of the surface of a ground with vegetation.An application of this method of characterising the acoustic properties of industrial absorbing materials is described, as well as the application to the determination of the specific impedance of sandy ground or of closely cut grass.
