Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) of a moving sound source is of great importance in the aspect of creating dynamic sound scenes. The article presents the strict mathematical derivation of WFS driving functions for an acoustic monopole, moving in an arbitrary direction with a uniform velocity. The derivation utilizes the traditional WFS theory for linear secondary source distributions by adapting the stationary phase approximation to moving source dynamics. By obtaining a purely time domain solution, the present approach provides a more correct synthesis compared to previous solutions for the problem and overcomes the drawbacks of the authors' previous methods (e.g., their great computational complexity).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
