Abstract

This paper deals with the design of a microphone array to measure location and spectral characteristics of railway noise sources. A microphone array estimates the direction of a noise source assumed as a point source using the delayed-sum beamforming method and its performance is determined in terms of resolution and side-lobe level. A 48 channel microphone array was already developed to measure noise sources of KTX trains and a new array with 96 microphones has been designed to enhance the performance. This paper simulates the performance the microphone arrays according to the configuration of microphones and verifies it through on-site tests.
