Abstract
The characterization of acoustical spaces by means of impulse response measurements is
often biased by the nonlinear behavior of the loudspeaker used to excite the system under test.
In this context the distortion immunity provided by the sweep technique has been investigated.
The results show that the sweep method can reject a significant amount of distortion artifacts
but, in contrast to what is claimed in the literature, it cannot exclude all distortion artifacts
from the causal part of the estimated impulse response.
