Various beamforming files written in MATLAB. Allows for convection, different types of steering vectors and more. They are known to work with R2016b (9.1.0.441655).
Requires time pressure signal of microphones as a matrix representation. Use developCSM to construct CSM with a given sampling frequency. Use any beamform algorithm to perform beamforming.
Q: "I just want to beamform...?"
A: If you have your time pressure signals and the microphone configuration you should be fine with only using
Q: "But I don't have array data...:("
A: You can simulate array data using
Q: "What is going on in
A: The beamforming algorithm is rewritten to apply fast vector manipulation. This is harder to comprehend (we go from matrices to vectors and do beamforming). To understand what is going on, you can use
Q: "What is <..Conv.m>?
A: It just includes another parameter for the flow speed, i.e. it corresponds to the same script without 'Conv' at the end of the name for U = [0 0 0]. Files will be removed/re-arranged later.
Q: "What is this <..mod.m>?"
A: It is a small modification to have the steering vectors exactly as how Sijtsma describes it in his tech papers. That is, the powers of your scan points will always be relative to a reference distance. See
Q: "I would love to experiment with this beamforming stuff... if only I could use my mouse to click for multiple source positions on a map, do the same to construct my microphone array, and see the result with beamforming...!"
A: Are you lucky or what? By chance (ahem) I made these kind of scripts! It can be found in the Beamforming-Simulations repository
