Abstract

The phased-microphone-array acquisition-system with beamforming signal processing provides sharp directivity in receiving sound source signal from desired direction. Conventional power beamforming algorithm makes use of spatial power spectrum to estimate the source locations and power by adjusting the stirring direction of the focusing beam. Although such power beamforming method shows success, there is still a research gap of power distortions caused by coherent sound fields. Furthermore the coherences between sources are still unable to identify, which could gives more detailed investigation of the source characteristics. We proposed a novel beamforming algorithm which is complex signal basis instead of signal power output basis in order to explore the phase information of the sources, moreover the coherence interference is eliminated by applying linear constrains which enhance the accuracy of the source-parameter estimation. The algorithm is further validated by numerical simulations with multiple coherence sources.
