Phased arrays can measure the directivity of multiple acoustic sources within a sound field across all frequencies but require dozens of microphones in typical applications. Furthermore, the turbulent boundary layer developed by wind tunnels engulf the phased arrays in intense pressure fluctuations that diminish the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement. This paper describes an alternative approach for measuring the directivity of a single broadband acoustic source that significantly reduces the number of microphones needed. This approach was developed from experimental testing of an acoustic metamaterial-based pressure sensing array in Virginia Tech's Anechoic Wall Jet Tunnel. The measurements obtained reveal that an acoustic metamaterial-based array can be designed to passively reinforce select pressure waves as a function of frequency and the acoustic source's location. 收起
