Abstract

It is investigated to what extent aspects of the performance of horns can be modeled using Webster's one-parameter horn equation. A computer model, based on Webster's equation, is described. Its results are compared to measurements. It is shown that a one-parameter horn model can accurately predict throat impedance provided that the shapes of the wavefronts are taken into account.
