Technical Specifications

GDS-360 is designed to detect shot-like sound sources and characterize them by providing sound source relative horizontal position (azimuth) and sound intensity.
GDS-360 is composed of 5 microphone array modules (sub-arrays) to be mounted at specific directions and relative angular offset to each other to cover 360° view range.

Each sub-array module is able to cover ±40° view range in azimuth and elevation. Angular scanning resolution of the system is ±10° in each direction.
The pre-processing and signal conditioning of acquired signals is organized on two data acquisition boards, which will transfer reprocessed waveforms via network switch onto industrial computer (Central Processing System - CPS) for beam-forming, spacial filtering, direction finding and transmission of results to Customer’s computer.
Signal acquisition boards have wind noise suppression mechanism.
