On the Use of Irregularly Spaced Loudspeaker Arrays for Wave Field Synthesis, Potential Impact on Spatial Aliasing Frequency
نویسنده
چکیده
Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) is a physical based sound reproduction technique. It relies on linear arrays of regularly spaced omnidirectional loudspeakers. A fundamental limitation of WFS is that the synthesis remains correct only up to a corner frequency referred to as spatial aliasing frequency. This paper addresses irregular spacing of loudspeaker array for WFS. Adapted driving functions are defined. New formulations of the spatial aliasing frequency are proposed. It is shown that the use of logarithmically spaced loudspeaker arrays can significantly increase the spatial aliasing frequency for non focused virtual sources.

Spatial Aliasing Artifacts Produced by Linear Loudspeaker Arrays used for Wave Field Synthesis
Spatial sound reproduction systems with a large number of loudspeakers are increasingly being used. Wave field synthesis is a reproduction system using a large number of densely placed loudspeakers (loudspeaker array). This implies a spatial sampling process that may lead to aliasing artifacts. This paper derives the spatial aliasing artifacts of linear loudspeaker arrays used for wave field sy...

متن کاملTimbral Coloration in High Resolution Sound Field Reproduction Due to Spatial Bandwidth Limitation
Sound field reproduction methods based on orthogonal expansions like e.g. higher order Ambisonics always introduce a limitation of the spatial bandwidth of the loudspeaker driving signals. As a consequence, the desired component of the reproduced wave field is similarly bandlimited. This leads to a pronounced sweet spot around the center of the loudspeaker distribution. This area is sweet both ...

Wave field synthesis (WFS) is a technique allowing the reproduction of sound fields in an extended listening area. This paper describes the theoretical fundamentals of WFS using linear loudspeaker arrays. A spatiotemporal frequency domain analysis of the reproduced wave field reveals that not only the desired wave field is present in the listening area but also an additional near-field componen...
