Outline

In the near field of the microphone-array, a sound wave from the sources located in the near-field range should be treated as a spherical wave and, thus, the range  as well as the direction of the source must be taken into account.  In this document,  a method of estimating the two-dimensional position (range and direction) of the sound sources using the extended MUSIC estimator and a method of separating sound from multiple sound sources based the estimated source location is described.   

Documents

Source localization  Method of sound source localization using MUSIC extended to 2-dimensional space for near sound field.
Source separation Method of source separation using the modified minimum variance beamformer. 
Software How to use the attached Matlab program and the simulation results.
