Brigham Young University has been investigating best practices for recommendation to NASA in upcoming X-59 sonic thump measurements. This preparatory work has focused both on obtaining high-fidelity data and standardizing signal analysis techniques for sonic thumps. Included in the research are topics such as whether to use a ground-based or elevated microphone, how to use low-noise microphones and still recover high-fidelity data at low frequencies, and estimating the uncertainty in a given measurement due to local atmospheric turbulence effects. Also included is a study of windowing techniques, zero padding, and the removal of high-frequency ambient noise contamination.
