Beamforming

Two source localization arrays based on the far field beamforming method.

This arrays enable an octave band analysis of the different aeroacoustic sources outside the vehicle: rear view mirror, door handle, wheelhousing…

Method Far field beamforming
Microphones number 64 (side/vertical) and 88 (top/horizontal)
Frequency range 630Hz– 8KHz
Output data Sound level and acoustic intensity map calculated on the source surface
Resolution (source separation capability) 17cm at 2KHz
