    Abstract: An acoustic antenna for computer workstation, used for video conferencing that comprises a plurality of microphones connected to a summator circuit. The microphones are distributed in a layout so as to form a substantially straight line and are each spaced with respect to a reference microphone placed in the vicinity of the vertical axis of symmetry of the screen of the workstation according to a specified law. The layout exhibits a substantially cylindrical directivity pattern whose axis of revolution is formed by the straight line.

    Abstract: An end fire microphone array having reduced analog-to-digital converter requirements is disclosed. Analog filters are used to band-limit at least two secondary microphone elements which are spaced from a primary microphone element a distance respective of their band limited outputs. The band-limited secondary microphone outputs are combined by an analog summer and the primary microphone and combined secondary microphone signals are digitized by an analog-to-digital converter. A signal processor performs a super-directive analysis of the primary microphone signal and the combined secondary microphone signals. A steerable superdirective microphone array is disclosed. A plurality of microphones are arranged in a ring. The microphone outputs are digitized, split into frequency bands, and weighted sums are formed for each of a plurality of directions. A steering control circuit evaluates the relative energy of each directional signal in each band and selects a microphone direction for further processing and output.
