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