Acoustic Array Systems (eBook)

Presents a unified framework of far-field and near-field
array techniques for noise source identification and sound field
visualization, from theory to application.

Acoustic Array Systems: Theory, Implementation, and
Application provides an overview of microphone array
technology with applications in noise source identification and
sound field visualization. In the comprehensive treatment of
microphone arrays, the topics covered include an introduction to
the theory, far-field and near-field array signal processing
algorithms, practical implementations, and common applications:
vehicles, computing and communications equipment, compressors,
fans, and household appliances, and hands-free speech. The author
concludes with other emerging techniques and innovative
algorithms.

* Encompasses theoretical background, implementation
considerations and application know-how

* Shows how to tackle broader problems in signal processing,
control, and transudcers

* Covers both farfield and nearfield techniques in a balanced
way

* Introduces innovative algorithms including equivalent source
imaging (NESI) and high-resolution nearfield arrays

* Selected code examples available for download for readers to
practice on their own

* Presentation slides available for instructor use

A valuable resource for Postgraduates and researchers in
acoustics, noise control engineering, audio engineering, and signal
processing.
