Abstract
This work presents the shape optimization and subsequent experimental validation of an acoustic lens with application to a compact loudspeaker, such as found in commercial speakerphones. The shape optimization framework is based on a combined lumped parameter and boundary element method model using free form deformation geometry parameterization. To test the optimized design, the loudspeaker lens is three-dimensionally printed and experimentally characterized under anechoic conditions on a finite baffle with respect to its off-axis frequency response. The overall tendencies of the frequency responses agree well between measurement and simulations within the optimization frequency range and at low frequencies. The optimization process is applied to a model including acoustic lumped parameter approximations. The shortcomings of the assumptions made in the model are revealed by laser Doppler vibrometer measurements of the loudspeaker driver and modelling of the mechanical vibrations of the lens.
