Design of Parametric Loudspeaker and Receiver System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Parametric loudspeaker systems have been widely used for projecting highly directional audible sound to a specified area. However, the demodulated signal from parametric loudspeaker suffers from high distortion since the nonlinear interaction among primary waves also generate harmonics. In order to reduce distortion, signal acquisition and digital signal processing techniques can be applied at the receiver. In this paper, a parametric loudspeaker and receiver system is designed to reduce distortion using median filtering and mean filtering at the receiver. Compared to conventional systems, the demodulated signal using proposed techniques exhibits lower distortion.
