Design of a spherical microphone array
Voch, Filip ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Liska, Matej (advisor)
Spherical microphone array is one of the ways to record spatial sound. This paper proposes rigid spherical array for beamforming and mixed order ambisonics using MEMS sensors connected with TDM bus. MEMS sensors are used due to their small size. Digital output signal is transferred to external signal processor using time division multiplexing. This paper describes an approach to design of the array for beamforming using mathematical methods for node layout on a sphere and for ambisonics using spherical harmonic functions. For prototype realization there is created design with uniformly distributed microphones on the sphere. There are flexible printed circuit boards designs for connecting the microphones. Those boards are then connected to central printed circuit board, where are the signals converted to resp. from differential signal for transfer between the array and the signal processor. RJ-45 connectors are being used for this transfer. Microphones are connected to the buses by USB-C connectors. The result is framework solution including 3D model and printed circuit board designs for microphone connection. 3D model is designed in Fusion 360 software and printed circuit boards in KiCad.
