Measured and Theoretical Performance Comparison of a Broadband Circular Microphone Array

چکیده
ABSTRACT We present a comparison of the measured and theoretical performance of a 24 microphone baffled circular microphone array. The signal-to-noise ratio of the circular microphone array is obtained by analysing the spatial aliasing error, the microphone placement error, and the white noise gain. The circular microphone array has a frequency range of operation from 50 Hz to 16 kHz, and we show that the order of the beamformer should be changed across frequency, so that the signal-to-noise ratio for the beamformed signal is above a specified threshold value for the entire frequency range of operation.

Circularly Polarized Circular Slot Antenna Array Using Sequentially Rotated Feed Network
This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurement of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: a single element and an array at C band. The proposed single element antenna is excited by an L-shaped strip with a tapered end, located along the circular-slot diagonal line in the back plane. From the array experimental results, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth can r...

متن کاملDesign of broadband speech beamformers robust against errors in the microphone array characteristics
Fixed broadband beamformers for speech applications using smallsized microphone arrays are known to be highly sensitive to errors in the microphone array characteristics. This paper describes two procedures for designing broadband beamformers with an arbitrary spatial directivity pattern, which are robust against gain and phase errors. The first design procedure optimises the mean performance o...
