Personal Sound Zones and Shielded Localized Communication
through Active Acoustic Control
摘要
In this paper, we present a time domain extension of our strategy on manipulatingradiated scalar Helmholtz fields and discuss two important applied scenarios, namely (1) creatingpersonal sound zones inside a bounded domain and (2) shielded localized communication. Ourstrategy is based on the authors’ previous works establishing the possibility and stability ofcontrolling acoustic fields using an array of almost non-radiating coupling sources and presents adetailed Fourier synthesis approach towards a time-domain effect. We require that the array ofacoustic sources creates the desired fields on the control regions while maintaining a zero fieldbeyond a larger circumscribed sphere. This paper recalls the main theoretical results then presentsthe underlying Fourier synthesis paradigm and show, through relevant simulations, theperformance of our strategy.
