We present a method for obtaining a spherical harmonic representation of a sound field based on a microphone array along the equator of a rigid spherical scatterer. The two-dimensional plane wave de-composition of the incoming sound field is computed from the microphone signals. The influence of the…
Spherical microphone arrays are used to capture spatial sound fields, which can then be rendered via headphones. We use the Real-Time Spherical Array Renderer (ReTiSAR) to analyze and auralize the propagation of sensor self-noise through the processing pipeline. An instrumental evaluation confirms a…
Approaches for incorporating sound source directivity into wave-based room acoustic simulations using a spherical harmonic representation have been presented recently. Normally, the directivity is measured or prescribed on a spherical surface centered at the nominal source position. In wave-based si…
The spatial decomposition method decomposes acoustic room impulse responses into a pressure signal and a direction of arrival for each time instant of the pressure signal. An acoustic space can be auralized by distributing the pressure signal over the available loudspeakers or head-related transfer…
We propose and evaluate an acoustic crosstalk canceler for binaural sound presentation based on an 8-channel linear loudspeaker array. The system uses traditional LSFI beamforming and path estimation in the mid and low frequency range, respectively. Simulations show a channel separation of around 40…
Self-bending wave fields exhibit an envelope that seemingly bends in space under free-field conditions. They are created by wave fronts that fold along a caustic. In this paper, we invert the concept by exploiting the reciprocity principle of the Helmholtz equation in order to create a linear sensor…
