Comparative analysis and selection of the geometry of the microphone array based on MEMS microphones for sound localisation by Andrii Riabko, Tetiana Vakaliuk, Oksana Zaika, Roman Kukharchuk, Yuriy Smorzhevsky

“…The tasks to be addressed include analyzing spatial-frequency characteristics of various microphone array geometries (Uniform Linear Array, Uniform Planar Array, Uniform Circular Array, and Uniform Concentric Array), comparing beamforming algorithms (delay-and-sum, differential, and superdirective), and evaluating their performance under isotropic noise fields and coherent noise sources. The methods used involve the application of both established and author-derived analytical models for transfer functions and directivity coefficients, as well as experimental validation using a prototype device built on a Raspberry Pi 5 platform with an Adafruit PCA9548 8-Channel STEMMA QT expansion board and SPH0645LM4H-B omnidirectional MEMS microphones. …”
