Design and Tests of Audio Directional System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Audio directional system is a new-style loudspeaker, which can project the sound beam onto a given region as light beam. In this paper, the basic working principle and the system components of audio directional system are proposed. The total harmonic distortion of the self-demodulated signal is analyzed based on “Berktay far-field solution”. Besides, this paper has designed the audio directional experimental system whose performances have been tested. The shortcomings of the self-demodulation theory are pointed out after the comparison between the test data and the theoretical analysis results.
