BeamformerTime

class acoular.tbeamform.BeamformerTime

Bases: TimeOut

Provides a basic time domain beamformer with time signal output.

for a spatially fixed grid.

source = Instance(SamplesGenerator)

Data source; SamplesGenerator or derived object.

num_channels = Property()

Number of channels in output (=number of grid points).

weights = Map(possible_weights, default_value='none', desc='spatial weighting function')

Spatial weighting function.

result(num=2048)

Python generator that yields the time-domain beamformer output.

The output time signal starts for source signals that were emitted from the Grid at t=0.

Parameters:

numint

This parameter defines the size of the blocks to be yielded (i.e. the number of samples per block). Defaults to 2048.

Yields:

numpy.ndarray

Samples in blocks of shape (num, num_channels).

num_channels is usually very large (number of grid points). The last block returned by the generator may be shorter than num.
