Analysis of Near-Field Effects of Wave Field Synthesis using Linear Loudspeaker Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 component. This component is analyzed in detail and the resulting wave fields are illustrated. Practical realizations of WFS impose certain technical constraints, namely the application of a finite number of discrete loudspeakers. The impact of this spatial discretization and truncation of the secondary source distribution on the near-field component is derived.

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...

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 d...
متن کاملOn the Secondary Source Type Mismatch in Wave Field Synthesis Employing Circular Distributions of Loudspeakers
The theory of wave field synthesis has been formulated for linear and planar arrays of loudspeakers but has been found to be also applicable with arbitrary convex loudspeaker contours with acceptable error. The main source of error results from the fact that the required properties of the employed loudspeakers are dictated by the Neumann Green’s function of the array geometry under consideratio...
