On the response of steered vertical line arrays to anisotropic noise

An approximate method is presented for evaluating, through the noise gain function, the response of a steered vertical line array of acoustic sensors to anisotrophic, plane-wave noise fields. On the basis of the high- N approximation a closed form solution is obtained for the noise gain function, even for the general case of arbitrary anisotropy. The main features on the noise gain curves are discussed and interpreted in terms of conventional beamforming concepts.

We consider the diffraction of a scalar plane wave by two parallel half-planes. On one half-plane the total field vanishes whilst on the other its normal derivative is zero. This is a new canonical diffraction problem and we give an exact closed-form solution to it. The problem has applications to the design of acoustic barriers.

We consider the diffraction of a plane wave by an infinite set of parallel half planes. On alternate half planes the total field or its normal derivative vanishes. An exact closed-form solution to this new canonical diffraction problem is presented. The problem also contains the solution to ten intrinsically different waveguide "bifurcation" problems.

We solve a new canonical problem: that of a plane wave obliquely incident on an anisotropic imperfectly conducting half plane. An exact closed-form solution is obtained by factorizing a 2 × 2 Wiener–Hopf matrix. The problem had earlier been considered insoluble, but yields to a combination of new and old matrix-factorization techniques.

We consider the diffraction of a plane wave by an infinite set of parallel equidistant half-planes. On each plate the total field vanishes on one side and the normal derivative vanishes on the other side. A closed-form solution for Bragg angle incidence is obtained by reducing the boundary value problem to a solvable Riemann problem.
