The pressure spectrum of the sonic‐boom N wave is simply given by , where T is the boom duration, P(T) is the pressure amplitude, and j1(ωT/2) is a spherical Bessel function of the first kind and order. The effective acoustic period of the N wave is approximately times its duration. The present formulation is a simplification of those by Crocker and Young. The spectrum formula given by Zepler and Harel is incomplete.
