Multi-sources distinguishing of vector transducer via differential evolution

Abstract

Vector transducer can simultaneously measure components of particle velocity as well as pressure at some point in sound field. In this paper, a series of equations are obtained from the correlation of particle velocity and pressure of the incident wave field, the error of each equation with white noise is studied, and Differential Evolution is used in solving the equations to distinguish multi-sources. Results of computer simulation show that Differential Evolution has more superiority than Genetic Algorithms on the rate and precision of convergence under the same condition.
