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 results show that similar geometric configurations of microphone arrays from omnidirectional microphones can be used for sound localization tasks at low frequencies because they are characterized by good values of Array Directivity and HPBW. This means creating a sufficiently narrow main beam, where the level of the sidelobe SLL does not differ from that of the main lobe at high frequencies. …”
