%0 Journal Article %T Computing Impulse Response of Room Acoustics Using the Ray-Tracing Method in Time Domain %A Adil Alpkocak %A Malik Kemal Sis %J Archives of Acoustics %D 2010 %I %R 10.2478/v10168-010-0039-8 %X This paper proposes a new approach for calculating the impulse response of room acoustics. Impulse response provides unique characterization of any discrete lineartime invariant (LTI) systems. We assume that the room is a linear time-invariant system and the impulse response is calculated simply by sending a Dirac Impulse into the system as input and getting the response from the output. Then, the output of the system is represented as a sum of time-shifted weighted impulse responses. Both mathematical justifications for the proposed method and results from simulation software developed to evaluate the proposed approach are presented in detail. %K room acoustics %K acoustics simulation %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/054476j65328u826/?p=15466ec0e9a34015aa328d440682b8e8&pi=2
