# 0.2 Design decisions for audio localization implementation

 Page 1 / 1
In this section, we will go over the design decisions we had to make in the course of our project, including determining how many microphones we should use, as well as the spacing of the array.

With the theory out of the way, we have to face the real world and set more constraints.

## The number of microphones

In this project, we are using the TI TMS320C6211 DSK board. This board has two channels that sample at 48 kHz and anotherchannel that samples at 8 kHz. Since we are not interpolating our signals, the sampling frequency is increasingly critical,so we can only use two microphones . shows what happens to the beampattern when we use reduced sampling frequency.

## Array spacing

In order to find the best array spacing (theoretically), we have to go through a few calculations. In our most extremecase, the signals will be hitting our array from 180°. This gives us perfect destructive interference, as our phasedifference will be $\pi$ . Therefore, we only need half of the wavelength:

$d=\frac{\lambda }{2}$
We can find λ by dividing the frequency of our sine wave (500 Hz) by the speed of sound (346.287 m/s):
$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{346.287}{500}=0.69$
and our array spacing $d$ ends up being 0.345 m.

what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
Daniel
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
