• ‘complete’ calibration with three known loads<br />

• several sets <strong>of</strong> calibration loads needed to cover wide f -range<br />

• complex wavenumber need not be known if a fourth ‘negative<br />

length’ load is used<br />

• after initial <strong>measurement</strong> <strong>of</strong> Z for long tube, calibration parameters<br />

determined from oscillations in α <strong>and</strong> k<br />

• complex wavenumber need not be known if an extra short tube is<br />

used<br />

• data obtained only at resonances <strong>and</strong> antiresonances <strong>of</strong> long<br />

tube—low frequency limit determined by length <strong>of</strong> tube<br />

• almost purely resistive load—impedance insensitive to complex<br />

wavenumber<br />

• used for calibration <strong>of</strong> volume flow sources<br />

• complete calibration as in (a)<br />

• valid for all frequencies, due to lack <strong>of</strong> resonances<br />

• the flange calibration may be omitted if a model <strong>of</strong> the impedance<br />

head is available<br />
