Wie die Fig. 1 zeigt, weist die hier in Rede stehende Vorrichtung eine Trageinrichtung 1, vier Mikrofone 2, eine Aufzeichnungseinrichtung 3, eine Auswerteinrichtung 4 und einen Positionssensor 5 auf. Die Tragvorrichtung 1 enthält einen Ständer 7 und einen Träger 8 für die Mikrofone, wobei der Träger horizontal angeordnet ist. Die Aufzeichnungseinrichtung 3 ist z.B. ein an sich bekanntes Mehrspurtonbandgerät, das mit den Mikrofonen 2 verbunden ist, um sämtliche Signale eines jeden Mikrofons auf jeweils einer Tonspur aufzuzeichnen. Die Aufzeichnungseinrichtung ist mit der Auswerteinrichtung verbunden, die z.B. ein Personalcomputer ist. Die Mikrofone 2 sind nach einem vorbestimmten Muster angeordnet.1 shows, the one in question here Device a carrying device 1, four microphones 2, a recording device 3, an evaluation device 4 and a position sensor 5. The carrying device 1 contains a stand 7 and a support 8 for the Microphones, the carrier being arranged horizontally. The recording device 3 is e.g. one in itself Known multi-track tape recorder, which with the microphones 2nd is connected to all the signals of each microphone to record on one audio track at a time. The Recording device is with the evaluation device connected, e.g. is a personal computer. The Microphones 2 are in a predetermined pattern arranged.

Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt treten bei der Beschallung von vier Mikrofonen A, B, C, D, die in einer Teilung mit äquidistanten Abständen angeordnet sind mit schräg einfallender Schallwelle redundante Mikrofonsignale auf.As shown in Fig. 2 occur in the sound of four Microphones A, B, C, D, in a division with Equidistant distances are arranged at an angle incident sound wave on redundant microphone signals.

Nachfolgend wird die Funktion der Vorrichtung anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 erläutert. Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, werden erfindungsgemäss eine reduzierte Anzahl von Mikrofone, d.h. drei Mikrofone A, B, D vorgesehen, bei welchen durch Beschallung mit schräg einfallender Schallwelle keine redundanten Mikrosignale auftreten.The function of the device is described below with reference to 3 and 4 explained. 3 shows according to the invention a reduced number of microphones, i.e. three microphones A, B, D provided, in which by Public address with angled sound wave none redundant micro signals occur.

Wie die Fig. 4 zeigt, werden die Position und Schallleistung von zwei punktförmigen Schallquellen 11 und 12 festgestellt, wobei sich die Frequenzen der Schallquelle 11, 12 über zwei Tonfrequenzbereichen erstrecken.As shown in Fig. 4, the position and Sound power from two point sound sources 11 and 12 found, the frequencies of the Sound source 11, 12 over two tone frequency ranges extend.

Zur Abtastung der Schallleistung der Schallquellen 11, 12 werden vier Mikrofone 2 vorgesehen, wobei die Mikrofone A, B, D mit einer kleineren Teilung für den höheren Frequenzbereich und die Mikrofone A', B', D' mit einer grösseren Teilung für den niedrigen Frequenzbereich vorgesehen sind. Bei der Zuordnung der Mikrofone wird von einer ersten Teilung, d.h. der Abstand beträgt z.B. acht Zentimeter für einen Frequenzbereich ausgegangen. Für einen anderen Frequenzbereich werden die Mikrofone mit einer zweiten Teilung einander zugeordnet, die ein geradzahliges Vielfaches der ersten Teilung ist, d.h. der Abstand beträgt z.B. vierundzwanzig Zentimeter. Mit dieser Zuordnung wird erreicht, dass lediglich vier Mikrofone ausreichen, um für zwei Tonfrequenzbereiche jeweils redundanzfreie Mikrofonsignale zu generieren.For scanning the sound power of the sound sources 11, 12 four microphones 2 are provided, the microphones A, B, D with a smaller division for the higher Frequency range and the microphones A ', B', D 'with a greater division for the low frequency range are provided. When assigning the microphones, a first division, i.e. the distance is e.g. eight Centimeters assumed for a frequency range. For the microphones use a different frequency range a second division assigned to each other, the a is an even multiple of the first division, i.e. of the Distance is e.g. twenty-four centimeters. With this assignment is achieved that only four Microphones are sufficient for two audio frequency ranges generate redundancy-free microphone signals.

Zur Feststellung der Position und Schallleistung von Schallquellen werden die Mikrofone in einem vorbestimmten Abstand von dem Gegenstand aufgestellt, welcher die Schallquellen aufweist und die Mikrofone mit dem Mehrspurtonbandgerät so verbunden, dass die Signale eines jeden Mikrofons auf jeweils einer Tonspur aufgezeichnet wird. Anschliessend werden die durch die Schallwellen generierten Mikrofonsignale aufgezeichnet.To determine the position and sound power of The microphones are sound sources in a predetermined Distance from the object that the Has sound sources and the microphones with the Multitrack tape recorder connected in such a way that the signals of a each microphone recorded on a sound track becomes. Then the sound waves generated microphone signals recorded.

Im Regelfall erfolgt die Auswertung örtlich getrennt von der Aufzeichnung. Zur Auswertung der Mikrofonsignale wird dem Gegenstand ein Raster zugeordnet. Für jeden Rasterpunkt wird die Schallausbreitung der allenfalls vorhandenen Schallquellen für jedes Mikrofon getrennt invertiert und dadurch auf den Rasterpunkt ausgerichtete erste Auswertsignale erzeugt. Die ersten Auswertsignale werden dann miteinander und mit sich selber multipliziert, wo durch zweite Auswertsignale erzeugt werden. Es wird der zeitliche Mittelwert der zweiten Auswertsignale ermittelt, der die Schallleistung der Schallquelle im Rasterpunkt darstellt. Vor der Bildung des zeitlichen Mittelwertes werden die zweiten Auswertsignale mit Faktoren multipliziert, die von der Anordnung der Mikrofone an der Tragvorrichtung abhängig sind.As a rule, the evaluation is carried out separately from the record. To evaluate the microphone signals is a grid is assigned to the object. For each Raster point is the sound propagation at most existing sound sources for each microphone separately inverted and thereby aligned to the grid point generates first evaluation signals. The first evaluation signals then become with each other and with themselves multiplied where generated by second evaluation signals will. It becomes the time average of the second Evaluation signals determined that the sound power of Represents sound source in the grid point. Before education the time average becomes the second Evaluation signals multiplied by factors from the Arrangement of the microphones depending on the carrying device are.

Für bewegte Gegenstände wird der Positionssensor in Stellung gebracht, um eine zeitliche Zuordnung des Gegenstandes und der Mikrofonsignale zu ermöglichen. Das Raster mit dem Schallquellen aufweisenden Gegenstand bewegt sich somit. In diesem Fall wird die Inversion der Schallausbreitung in Abhängigkeit der Zeit durchgeführt.For moving objects, the position sensor is in Positioned to a temporal assignment of the To enable object and the microphone signals. The Grid with the object having sound sources thus moves. In this case, the inversion of the Sound propagation performed depending on the time.

Die Vorrichtung weist eine Anzahl von Mikrofonen 2 auf, die nach einem vorbestimmten Muster angeordnet sind, um eine im wesentlichen redundanzfreie Speicherung von Mikrofonsignalen in einer Aufzeichnungseinrichtung zu bewirken.The device has a number of microphones 2, which are arranged according to a predetermined pattern an essentially redundancy-free storage of Microphone signals in a recording device cause.

Mit der reduzierten Anzahl von Mikrofonen wird das Ergebnis der Feststellung mindestens gleich oder besser als mit einer Anordnung, die an sämtlichen Punkten der Teilung mit einem Mikrofon versehen ist.With the reduced number of microphones, that becomes Result of the determination at least equal or better than with an arrangement that at all points of the Division is provided with a microphone.
