Isotropic Noise Modelling for Nearfield Array Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an exact series representation for a nearfield spherically isotropic noise model is introduced. The methodology uses the spherical harmonics expansion of the wavefield at a sensor to obtain the correlation between two sensors due to the nearfield isotropic noise field. The result is useful in nearfield application of sensor arrays. The proposed noise model can be utilized effectively to apply well established farfield array processing algorithms for nearfield applications. Specifically, any signal processing criterion based on farfield isotropic noise correlation can be reformulated with nearfield noise with this representation. A simple array gain optimization is used to demonstrate the new noise model.

This paper presents a new method of designing a beamformer having a desired nearfield broadband beampattern. The methodology uses the spherical harmonic solution to the wave equation to transform the desired nearfield beampattern to an equivalent farfield beampattern. A farfield beamformer is then designed for a transformed farfield beampattern that, if achieved, gives the desired nearfield pat...

This paper presents a method for nearfield frequency invariant broadband array beamforming. This means that we can design an array with associated signal processing to achieve a desired frequency invariant beampattern (as a function of direction) at any nominal finite distance over an arbitrarily wide range of frequencies. The challenge here is to compensate accurately for the nearfield distort...

We establish the asymptotic equivalence, up to complex conjugation, of two problems: 1) determining the nearfield performance of a farfield beampattern specification and 2) determining the equivalent farfield beampattern corresponding to a nearfield beampattern specification. Using this reciprocity relationship, we develop a computationally simple procedure to design a beamforming array to achi...
