Identifying Acoustic Shape of Sound Localization

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

New to this forum. I am a researcher but limited in acoustic knowledge. Hoping you guys can help. Is it possible to identify the shape of a sound source? We are trying to identify whether the sound source is propagated from a point source or from a ring about a cm in diameter. Is there technology available to do this? Thanks

Jerome,

different source geometries result in different radiation patterns. If you can measure radiation patterns, you can compare that to different models.

Cheers
Edgar
