Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0802699A2] For beam forming acoustical signals the phase difference of the output signals of two acoustical/electrical transducers is determined (27) and is multiplied by a factor (30). One of the two output signals of the at least two transducers is phase shifted by an amount according to the multiplication result. This phase shifted signal and the signal of the second transducer are led to a signal processing unit, wherein beam forming on these at least two signals is performed. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform beam forming as if the transducers were mutually distant by more than they physically are. <IMAGE>
