Claims (6)

  1. Réseau de microphones sphériques comprenant :
    une structure de diffraction du son (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) qui a une forme tridimensionnelle fermée avec une surface (101, 402, 502, 602) entourant la forme ; et
    au moins deux microphones différentiels (102-104, 302, 401, 501, 601, 604, 1000) montés affleurant sur la surface de la structure de diffraction du son, dans lequel
    au moins l'un (1000) des microphones différentiels (102-104, 302, 401, 501, 601, 604, 1000) comprend un élément tubulaire (1001) avec deux extrémités ouvertes (1002, 1003) et un microphone omnidirectionnel (1005) disposé dans l'élément tubulaire (1001) entre ses deux extrémités (1002, 1003) ; et
    le microphone omnidirectionnel (1005) est disposé au niveau d'une position à des distances différentes par rapport aux deux extrémités (1002, 1003) de l'élément tubulaire (1001),
    le réseau de microphones sphériques comprenant en outre au moins une indentation (503, 603) dans le périmètre de la structure de diffraction (500, 600) ou formée sur la surface de la structure de diffraction (101), dans lequel au moins un microphone différentiel (501, 601, 604, 1000) est disposé dans l'au moins une indentation (503, 603).
  2. Réseau de microphones selon la revendication 1, dans lequel la structure de diffraction du son (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) a la forme d'une sphère ou d'un polyèdre.
  3. Réseau de microphones selon la revendication 1 ou 2, dans lequel un élément à retard acoustique est disposé entre une extrémité (1003) de l'élément tubulaire (1001) et le microphone omnidirectionnel (1005).
  4. Réseau de microphones selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel l'élément tubulaire (1001) est incurvé en U.
  5. Réseau de microphones selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel l'au moins une indentation (503, 603) est de la forme d'un capuchon sphérique inverse ou d'un paraboloïde circulaire inverse.
  6. Réseau de microphones selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel les parois de l'indentation (503, 603) réfléchissent le son.
