Beamforming is an imaging tool for the investigation of aeroacoustic phenomena and results in high-dimensional data that are broken down to spectra by integrating spatial regions of interest. This paper presents two methods that enable the automated identification of aeroacoustic sources in sparse beamforming maps and the extraction of their corresponding spectra to overcome the manual definition of regions of interest. The methods are evaluated on two scaled airframe half-model wind tunnel measurements and on a generic monopole source. The first relies on the spatial normal distribution of aeroacoustic broadband sources in sparse beamforming maps. The second uses hierarchical clustering methods. Both methods are robust to statistical noise and predict the existence, location, and spatial probability estimation for sources based on which regions of interest are automatically determined.

Sparse deconvolution beamforming with non-negative L1-αL2 regularization for acoustic source localization.

This letter proposed a sparse deconvolution localization method (FFT-L1ML2) driven by non-convex L1-αL2 regularization that more closely approximates the ideal L0 norm. It is an alternative that explores the sparse structure of sound sources to enhance localization accuracy, while the original sparse deconvolution beamforming lacks a sufficiently accurate sparse description. An optimization solver composed of forward gradient descent and backward proximal operator is then developed for the FFT-L1ML2 model to reconstruct the beamforming map.

Beamforming technology using loudspeaker arrays is widely used in sound applications, but current sparse array design methods focus on optimizing a single beam for a single target direction, limiting their applicability to multi-channel sound systems. This paper presents a design method for sparse loudspeaker line arrays to generate wideband frequency-invariant beams in multiple target directions. A model based on tapped delay lines is developed and a two-stage design approach is proposed.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound imaging with flexible transducers needs precise shape geometry for effective beamforming, but traditional methods for shape estimation are costly in terms of computation time and often lack accuracy.
- A new deep-learning method, FlexSANet, offers a fast and accurate approach by demodulating I/Q data and using a sparse processing mechanism to reduce estimation time.
- Evaluations show that FlexSANet achieves high-quality imaging with minimal error in shape estimation (less than 1/8 wavelengths), and demonstrates promising clinical application potential with an estimation time of just 0.12 seconds.

A comprehensive design framework is proposed for optimizing sparse MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) arrays to enhance multi-target detection. The framework emphasizes efficient utilization of antenna resources, including strategies for minimizing inter-element mutual coupling and exploring alternative grid-based sparse array (GBSA) configurations by efficiently separating interacting elements. Alternative strategies are explored to enhance angular beamforming metrics, including beamwidth (BW), peak-to-sidelobe ratio (PSLR), and grating lobe limited field of view.
