Abstract: | To accelerate head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) measurement, two or more independent sound sources are usually employed in the measurement system. However, the multiple scattering between adjacent sound
sources may influence the accuracy of measurement. On the other hand, the directivity of sound source could induce measurement error. Therefore, a model consisting of two spherical sound sources with approximate omni-directivity and a rigid-spherical head is proposed to evaluate the errors in HRTF measurement caused by multiple scattering between sources. An example of analysis using multipole re-expansion indicates that the error of ipsilateral HRTFs are within the bound of ± 1.0 dB below a frequency of 20 kHz, provided that the sound source radius does not exceed 0.025 m, the source distance relative to head center is not less than 0.5 m, and the angular interval between two adjacent
sources is not less than 20 degrees. Similar conclusions under different conditions can also be analyzed and discussed by using this calculation method. Furthermore, the results are verified by measurements of HRTFs for a rigid
sphere and a KEMAR artificial head. |
