Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention aims to provide a beam forming method, a beam forming system and a beam forming device, which are used for forming beams of observation signals output by a multi-channel microphone.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
When designing a microphone array filter, it is difficult to obtain high array gain in the middle and low frequency bands under the condition that the array aperture/size is limited.
Assume that the observed signal of the M (M-0, 1, 2.., M-1) th microphone in the time-frequency domain is Y m (f, t), where f is frequency and t is time.
By grouping all observations into a vector, one can obtain:
y(f，t)＝[Y 0 (f，t) Y 1 (f，t)…Y M-1 (f，t)] T ，
where superscript T represents transpose.
In a similar way, a vector w (f, t) to be optimized can be constructed. This vector, also of length M, is applied to the observed signal vector y (f, t) to obtain an output array of the following formula:
Z(f，t)＝w H (f，t)y(f，t)
this is the basic framework for conventional beamforming methods to obtain the output of an array. The filter coefficients are contained in a vector w (f, t). By optimizing w (f, t), a wide variety of beamforming devices can be designed, such as delay-sum beamformers, super-directional beamformers, and the like.
However, the method cannot meet the requirement of high gain in the medium and low frequency bands, and normally, the white noise gain of the corresponding beam former is very low in high gain (high directivity). The beamformer can theoretically obtain a certain gain, but in practice, due to inherent deviation of a microphone array, the beamformer is not enough in robustness, and the performance which can be obtained by a medium-low frequency band is very limited.
The present invention provides a beamforming method, system and beamformer which can achieve higher array gain than the above method.
