Acoustic Array Systems: Theory, Implementation, and Application

by Mingsian R Bai, Jeong-Guon Ih, Jacob Benesty

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 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 vehicles, computing and communications equipment, compressors, fans, and household appliances, and hands-free speech. The author concludes with other emerging techniques and innovative algorithms. A valuable resource for Postgraduates and researchers in acoustics, noise control engineering, audio engineering, and signal processing.
