This paper discusses techniques for obtaining the acoustic properties of in-duct samples with non-linear acoustic characteristics such as perforates and other facing sheets used in aircraft engine liners and automotive mufflers. It is assumed that the non-linearity occurs locally at constrictions or sharp corners. The paper starts with a short review of previous impedance tube measurements made for determining the acoustic impedance of non-linear samples. Multi-port techniques using sinusoidal excitation for better characterization of samples with non-linear properties are developed and experimentally tested.
