Directional sound radiation from a rectangular panel and the high frequency limit.

Directional sound radiation focuses sound in a specific direction and reduces sound radiation in other directions. This study uses a flat panel driven by an actuator array to realize two-dimensional directional sound radiation by the acoustic contrast control algorithm. The aliasing effect at higher frequencies is analyzed based on the modal vibration of the panel, and a method for estimating the high frequency limit is proposed. Actuator arrays with different parameters are simulated to verify the efficacy of the proposed method and compare the acoustic contrast response with the conventional loudspeaker arrays.
