The paper A Virtual Endfire Loudspeaker Array for the Generation of Sound Beams presented by Sascha Spors and Hagen Wiersorf at the AIA-DAGA Conference on Acoustics considers the synthesis of sound fields that are limited to a linear region in space. Loudspeaker arrays used in endfire configuration are known to produce good results in this context. In this paper the use of a virtual endfire array is considered, which itself is synthesized by a broadside loudspeaker array using focused sources in Wave Field Synthesis.
The presentation slides as well as the MATLAB/Octave script to generate the figures are available. The script requires to download the Sound Field Synthesis toolbox.
Dear
It appears that the Sound Field Synthesis toolbox has disappeared?
Best regards
