Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the reconstruction of acoustic fields. Background technique
[0002] Near-field Acoustical Holography (NAH) is a very useful tool for 3D visualization of acoustic radiation and precise noise source localization based on measurements on surfaces near the sound source. Its ability to reconstruct also evanescent wave components ensures very high spatial resolution.
[0003] Known near-field acoustic holography methods are based on regular-grid measurements across level surfaces in a separable coordinate system, allowing the NAH calculation to be performed by the spatial discrete Fourier transform (DFT), See, eg, "Sound source reconstruction using a microphone array," by E. G. Williams, J. D. Maynard, and E. J. Skudrzyk, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 68, 340-344 (1980). Due to the use of DFT, the processing is very fast, but side effects of using DFT include severe spatial windowing effects unless the measurement area completely covers the...
