Presentation / Conference
Linge, N., Odum, R., Hill, S., von Hünerbein, S., Linnebank, P., Sutton, A., & Townend, D. (2018, November). The impact of atmospheric pressure on the performance of 60GHz point to point links within 5G networks. Presented at Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference 2018 (LAPC2018), Loughborough, UK

There is growing interest in the use of millimetre-wave spectrum as a potential candidate for the provision of high capacity, short range, back-haul solutions within future 5G ultra-dense network infrastructures. However, it is recognised that these... Read More about The impact of atmospheric pressure on the performance of 60GHz point to point links within 5G networks.

Fixed echo rejection in sodar using non-coherent matched filter detection and Gaussian mixture model based post-processing (2018)
Journal Article
Kendrick, P., & von Hünerbein, S. (2019). Fixed echo rejection in sodar using non-coherent matched filter detection and Gaussian mixture model based post-processing. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 36(1), 3-16. https://doi.org/10.1175/jtech-d-18-0095.1

Doppler sodar (SOund Detection and Ranging) is a technology used for acoustic based remote sensing of the lower planetary boundary layer. Sodars are often used to measure wind profiles however, they suffer from problems due to noise (both acoustic a...

Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades (2018)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S. (2018, May). Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades. Presented at 3rd Wind Turbine Acoustic Day, Technical University of Denmark, DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, DK

In agreement with other environmental noise literature, most work on the annoyance from wind turbines has focussed on noise. Notable work has been carried out in Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, China, Canada and the US. Their results seem to show tha... Read More about Annoyance from wind turbine noise?

Eliminating wind noise contamination of wind turbine noise amplitude modulation ratings - first validation (2017)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., Kendrick, P., Kerscher, M., & Bradley, S. (2017, July). Eliminating wind noise contamination of wind turbine noise amplitude modulation ratings - first validation. Presented at The 24th International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV24), London, UK

Microphone wind noise can corrupt outdoor measurements and recordings. It is a particular problem for wind turbine measurements because these cannot be carried out when the wind speed is low. Previous studies simulated the effect that microphone wi... Read More about Eliminating wind noise contamination of wind turbine noise amplitude modulation ratings - first validation.

Extended simulations of wind noise contamination of amplitude modulation ratings (2017)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., Kendrick, P., & Cox, T. (2017, May). Extended simulations of wind noise contamination of amplitude modulation ratings. Presented at Wind Turbine Noise 2017, Rotterdam, NL

Microphone wind noise can corrupt outdoor measurements and recordings and especially the rating of Amplitude Modulation (AM) depth. In a previous study simulations of synthesised wind turbine sounds in wind noise have shown that even at relatively lo...

The effect of microphone wind noise on the amplitude modulation of wind turbine noise and its mitigation (2016)
Journal Article
Kendrick, P., von Hünerbein, S., & Cox, T. (2016). The effect of microphone wind noise on the amplitude modulation of wind turbine noise and its mitigation. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 140(1), EL79. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4955010

Microphone wind noise can corrupt outdoor recordings even when wind shields are used. When monitoring wind turbine noise, microphone wind noise is almost inevitable because measurements cannot be made in still conditions. The effect of microphone win...

Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise (2015)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., & Piper, B. (2015, April). Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise. Presented at Wind Turbine Noise 2015, Glasgow

Residents living adjacent to wind farms are exposed to a combination of turbine noise and background noise with all its environmental and local constituents. As the amplitude modulation character in turbine sounds is thought to specifically contribut... Read More about Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise.

Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method (2014)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J., Kendrick, P., & von Hünerbein, S. (2014). Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 82-92. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4835955

This paper describes a numerical method for simulating far-field scattering from small regions of inhomogeneous temperature fluctuations. Such scattering is of interest since it is the mechanism by which acoustic wind velocity profiling devices (Dopp...
