  • <p><em>Spacecraft must be tested in acoustic environments by means of reverberant </em><em>chamber tests (RFAN) or Direct Field Acoustic Tests (DFAN) where many </em><em>speakers surround the test object. These tests require acoustic control </em><em>software and matching hardware to drive the speakers with a controlled </em><em>noise spectrum. Suppliers of such systems and test facilities are sometimes </em><em>challenged with acoustic standing waves that create hotspots with higher </em><em>than specified sound pressure levels that could damage the Device Under </em><em>Test (DUT) by exciting structural resonances. As a safety measure to protect </em><em>the DUT, a response limiting method (notching) is applied where critical </em><em>frequencies in the acoustic spectrum are attenuated to keep the structural </em><em>response levels limited.</em></p>
