We propose a spatial filtering method for linear arrays of First-Order Steerable Differential Microphones (FOSDMs), which operates in two layers. In the former, signals acquired by individual microphones are locally filtered to produce the outputs of the FOSDMs. In the latter, the outputs of the FOSDMs are processed by another filter. We analyse different design methodologies and study the conditions under which the two filtering layers can be decoupled. The proposed two-layer spatial filter can be flexibly controlled with a single scalar parameter, which can be chosen, for example, to maximize the White Noise Gain (like in a Delay-and-Sum beamformer); or to maximize the Directivity Factor (like in a Super-Directive beamformer); without needing any matrix inversion. The effectiveness of the proposed beamforming method is compared with traditional spatial filtering techniques using different metrics. |
