Abstract

Nowadays, acoustic antennas are used in different application fields with the primary aim of detecting the presence and the position of acoustic sources. The uncertainty in the evaluation of the acoustic source position is related to the knowledge of right acoustic locations of the microphones in the array, which is different from the geometric ones and needs a suitable calibration procedure to be evaluated. This paper, after an analysis of the problems related to the calibration of acoustic antennas, proposes a dedicated strategy with the aim of assessing an optimized experimental setup guaranteeing the best uncertainty in the acoustic source location.
