Paper Title
Resolution-Improved Optical Beamformer With A Multiple Line Array Sensor Structure For The Direction Detection Of Low Frequency Acoustic Wave
Abstract
To find the origin of acoustic signal, an array type of sensors is necessary, but this array structure accompanies
spatial aliasing problem by the finite and discrete number of sensors. This problem can be overcome by using acousto-optic
beam forming. For low frequency (< 1 kHz) application, conventional one-dimensional beam forming needs a long beam
path. In this paper, two-dimensional beam forming using a multiple line array structure is proposed to improve direction
resolution in low frequency range. Its resolution performance is compared through simulation with that of one-dimensional
beam forming.
