Microphone array (MA) involves several microphones positioned at diverse spatial locations. According to the sound propagation fundamentals, the multiple inputs can be handled to attenuate or to enhance the stemming signals from specific directions (desired signal) in the presence of demeaning noise sources (Levy et al.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
A microphone array system includes a plurality of microphones and a sound signal processing part. The microphones are arranged in such a manner that at least three microphones are arranged in a first direction to form a microphone row, at least three rows of the microphones are arranged so that the microphone rows are not crossed each other so as to ...

Microphone array diffracting structure
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006The present invention increases the aperture size of a microphone array by introducing a diffracting structure into the interior of a microphone array. The diffracting structure within the array modifies both the amplitude and phase of the acoustic signal reaching the microphones.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
The present invention is directed to a method of apparatus of enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio of a microphone array. The array includes a plurality of microphones and has a directivity pattern which is adjustable based on one or more parameters. The parameters are evaluated so as to realize an angular orientation of a directivity pattern null. This

Superdirective Microphone Arrays
2001This chapter gives an overview of so-called superdirective beamformers, which can be derived by applying the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) principle to theoretically well-defined noise fields, as for example the diffuse noise field. We show that all relevant performance measures for beamformer designs are functions of the coherence ...

Dynamically reconfigurable microphone arrays
2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2011Robotic sound localization has traditionally been restricted to either on-robot microphone arrays or embedded microphones in aware environments, each of which have limitations due to their static configurations. This work overcomes the static configuration problems by using visual localization to track multiple wireless microphones in the environment ...

Teleconference microphone arrays
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982A directional array of acoustic transducers is disclosed. The acoustic transducers are arranged colinearly and in pairs symmetrically about a center line of the directional array. The distances of the acoustic transducers on either side of the center line of the array are neither linear nor monotonic.

Self-descriptive microphone array
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010A self-descriptive microphone array includes a microphone array memory, such as, for example a ROM, EEPROM, or other conventional memory, which contains a microphone array device description. This device description includes parametric information which defines operational characteristics and configuration of the microphone array.

Differential Microphone Arrays
2006Noise and reverberation can seriously degrade both microphone reception and loudspeaker transmission of audio signals in telecommunication systems. Directional loudspeakers and microphone arrays can be effective in combating these problems. This chapter covers the design and implementation of differential arrays that are by definition small compared to

Microphone Arrays: Fundamental Concepts
2010Microphone array beamforming is concerned with the extraction of a desired acoustic signal from noisy microphone measurements. The microphone array problem is a more difficult one than that of classical sensor array applications due to several reasons: the speech signal is naturally analog and wideband.
