bulletRecipe
1. Derive the Beam-steering filter coefficients in the look direction by system identification. (Yellow arrow)
2. Let the system learn  the directional reception as turning a rotating table. (Blue arrow)
3. Measure the receiving characteristics on each direction.

 


Blue arrow : Setting the look direction
Yellow arrow : Learning the directional reception

 

bulletResult
The following graphs show it is possible to make the microphone probe directional even if in an office room with sound reverberation.
