Acoustic holography with a concentric rigid and open spherical microphone array

We present a new method and performance data related to volumetric acoustic intensity imaging using a spherical microphone array (SMA) consisting of a dual, concentric rigid and open SMA. The dual, concentric array was designed to improve the frequency range of a standard SMA. We apply standard techniques associated with interior spherical near-field acoustic holography (NAH) and, in particular, consider issues related to the optimal use of information from both arrays for NAH projection and the advantages that thus accrue from utilising a dual, concentric SMA.
