The method and apparatus utilize a microphone array comprising angularly separated physical microphone elements that can be integrated into small portable electronic devices such as portable communication devices. The method and 10 apparatus further utilize a mixture of linear and non-linear processing of audio signals obtained from the microphone array to generate a directional audio signal with a distortion that is low enough for the method and apparatus to be efficiently used in intelligible speech communication. [0022] One embodiment is a method for audio signal enhancement that obtains a first audio signal from a first physical microphone element and obtains a second audio signal from a second physical microphone element. The audio signals are array processed to generate a virtual linear first order element and a virtual non- linear even order element. The array processing includes combining the virtual linear first order element and the virtual non-linear even order element to generate a directional audio signal having a primary audio beam. [0023] Another embodiment is an apparatus for audio signal enhancement. The apparatus includes a first physical microphone element and a second physical microphone element. A first divider scales an audio signal from the first physical microphone element by a scaling factor and a second divider scales an audio signal from the second physical microphone element by the scaling factor. A processor array processes the scaled audio signals to generate a virtual linear first order element and a virtual non-linear even order element, and combines the virtual linear first order element and the virtual non-linear even order element to generate a directional audio signal comprising a primary audio beam. A multiplier multiplies the directional audio signal by the scaling factor to maintain an output level consistent with the input level to the system. 3 WO 2006/071405 PCT/US2005/042165 [0024] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus 100 for audio signal enhancement, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. The apparatus 100 includes a first physical microphone element 102 and a second physical microphone element 104. As described in further detail herein, more than two microphone elements may be used. The output signals from the microphone elements 102 and 104 are provided to amplifiers 112 and 114, respectively, to calibrate the gain of the microphone elements 102 and 104. The outputs of amplifiers 112 and 114 are divided into time windows, and then provided to maximum signal detectors 122 and 124. The maximum signal detectors detect and hold the maximum signal output from the amplifiers 112 and 114 for a given time window. The maximum signal detector having the larger amplitude is selected at maximum signal selector 130. This signal is then used as a scaling factor at dividers 132 and 134 to scale the output signals from amplifiers 112 and 114. This processing normalizes the outputs of the amplifiers 112 and 114. The normalized microphone signals are then array processed by array processor 140. The array processing is described in further detail herein. The resultant of the array processing is then scaled through a multiplier 150 using the same scaling factor employed at dividers 132 and 134. An audio signal enhancement block 190, indicates the processing components that operate using time windows. [0025] In embodiments of the invention, the distance separating the physical microphone elements 102 and 104 is less than one-half of the wavelength of the shortest wavelength of interest. For example, if the frequency is full-range audio (20- 20 ,000 Hz), then the shortest wavelength of interest is 17.3 millimeters. If the frequency is telephone audio (300 - 3400 Hz) then the shortest wavelength is 100 millimeters. [0026] Referring to FIG. 2, a flow diagram depicting a method for audio signal enhancement within each time window or frame is illustrated. The first step, as indicated by step 222, obtains audio signals from a microphone array, the microphone array comprising two or more physical microphone elements 102 and 104. The audio signals are then scaled at step 224 (e.g., by dividers 132 and 134). At step 226, the audio signals are array processed to generate a virtual linear first order element and a virtual non-linear even order element. The virtual linear first order element and the 4 WO 2006/071405 PCT/US2005/042165 virtual non-linear even order element are combined. The array processing is described in further detail herein. Step 228 comprises scaling the audio signal, again, this time performing the inverse operation as that performed in step 224, namely multiplying the audio signal by the scaling factor (e.g., at multiplier 150). As indicated at step 230, the resultant is a directional audio signal comprising a primary beam. [0027] The processing of steps 222-230 may be performed by a processor such as a general-purpose microprocessor executing code, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a combination of software, hardware and/or firmware, etc. Thus, the term processor as used herein is intended to have a broad meaning encompassing a variety of components for implementing the described method. [0028] The microphone array comprises first order directional elements or a combination comprising first order directional elements and omnidirectional elements. The first order directional elements are "non-dimentional." As used herein, the term "non-dimentional" refers to physical microphone elements, which have a size that is small compared to the wavelength of sound. This is typically achieved in a single microphone capsule by introducing an acoustic delay element (e.g., a felt or screen) in the rear path to the microphone's diaphragm. An angular response of a first order directional element can be represented as P(ø) and is expressed as in equation (1) where 0 P(ø) = α+ (1- α) * Cosine(ø). [0029] FIG. 3 illustrates an angular response 322 of a first order directional element. As used herein, the first order directional elements include first order cardioid elements, first order non-cardioid elements, as well as combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing elements. [0030] FIG. 4 illustrates an angular response 432 of a first order bi-directional element. The virtual first order bi-directional element is generated when alpha has a value of 0 in equation (1). The angular response 432 is a response that has equal maximum angular response in both front and the rear directions. 5 WO 2006/071405 PCT/US2005/042165 [0031] FIG. 5 illustrates an angular response 542 of a omnidirectional element. The virtual omnidirectional element is generated when alpha has a value of 1 in equation (1). The angular response 542 is a response that has equal angular response in all the directions. [0032] First order directional elements may be used to generate virtual first order bi-directional elements and virtual omnidirectional elements. FIG. 6 illustrates a mathematical addition of opposing angular responses 652 and 654 of first order directional physical microphone elements to generate an angular response 656 of a virtual omnidirectional element. FIG. 7 illustrates a mathematical subtraction of opposing angular responses 752 and 754 of first order directional physical microphone elements to generate an angular response 756 of a virtual first order bi- directional element. For non-cardioid elements, weighted addition and subtraction has to be used for generating the virtual first order bi-directional and virtual first order omnidirectional elements. [0033] A virtual linear first order element is generated by linearly mixing a real or virtual first order bi-directional element with a real or virtual omnidirectional element. A virtual non-linear even order element is generated by raising a real or virtual first order bi-directional element to an even power (n). [0034] Referring to FIG. 8, in one embodiment, an angular response 862 of a linear first order element is mathematically added to an angular response 864 of a virtual non-linear even order element (the value of n is 2) to generate a hybrid resultant array signal comprising the directional audio signal represented by an angular response 866. The directional audio signal may have a primary beam with a very low distortion. [0035] A hybrid resultant array (X) for dipole order n with 2 minor lobes is expressed in Equation (2): 6 WO 2006/071405 PCT/US2005/042165 [0036] In Equation (2) M1 represents a first audio signal obtained from a first physical directional microphone element and M2 represents a second audio signal obtained form a second physical directional microphone element. FIG. 9 illustrates a sample angular response 966 for the hybrid resultant array (X) for dipole order n with 2 minor lobes. [0037] A hybrid resultant array (X) for dipole order n with 3 minor lobes is expressed in Equation (3): [0038] In Equation (3) M1 represents a first audio signal obtained form a first physical directional microphone element and M2 represents a second audio signal obtained form a second physical directional microphone element. FIG. 10 illustrates a sample angular response 1066 for the hybrid resultant array (X) for dipole order n with 3 minor lobes. [0039] Equations 2 and 3 assume the first order directional elements are of the cardioid form. If a non-cardioid physical element is used, the equations would have to be modified accordingly. In this case, M1 would be the sum of a real or virtual omnidirectional element with a real or virtual bidirectional element, the sum of which is then divided by two. M2 would be the difference of a real or virtual omnidirectional element and a real or virtual bidirectional element, the sum of which is then divided by two. [0040] As illustrated in FIG. 11, in one embodiment, the microphone array 1100 comprises two physical microphone elements: a first physical microphone element 1110 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1112 for a first audio signal obtained from the first physical microphone element 1110; and a second physical microphone element 1120 that is a first order directional element 7 WO 2006/071405 PCT/US2005/042165 having an angular response 1122 for a second audio signal obtained from the second physical microphone element 1120. The first physical microphone element 1110 and the second physical microphone element 1120 are at an angular separation of 180 degrees to each other parallel to a beam axis 1192. In this embodiment, the first physical microphone element 1110 and the second physical microphone element 1120 are actually on the beam axis 1192. A primary audio beam is oriented along the beam axis 1192.

In this embodiment, the first physical microphone element 1210 and the second physical microphone element 1220 are actually on the axis 1292. A primary audio 10 beam is oriented along a beam axis 1292. [0042] As illustrated in FIG. 13, in one embodiment, the microphone array 1300 comprises four physical microphone elements: a first physical microphone element 1310 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1312 for a first audio signal obtained from the first physical microphone element 1310; a 15 second physical microphone element 1320 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1322 for a second audio signal obtained from the second physical microphone element 1320; a third physical microphone element 1370 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1372 for a third audio signal obtained from the third physical microphone element 1370; and a fourth 20 physical microphone element 1380 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1382 for a fourth audio signal obtained from the fourth physical microphone element 1380.

The third physical microphone element 1370 and the fourth physical microphone element 1380 are at an angular separation of 180 degrees to each other and oriented along (or parallel to) a second axis 1394. The axes 1392 and 1394 may be orthogonal to each other, and in such a case, the microphone elements oriented along the first axis 1392 (i.e., the first physical microphone element and the second physical microphone element) are at an angular separation of 90 degrees from the physical microphone elements oriented along the second axis 1394 (i.e., the third physical microphone element and the fourth physical microphone element). In this embodiment, a primary audio beam is oriented along a vector originating at an intersection 1396 of the first axis 1392 and the second axis 1394, the vector having a tip that can be steered through 360 degrees in a plane formed by the first axis 1392 and the second axis 1394. [0044] As illustrated in FIG. 14, in one embodiment, the microphone array 1400 comprises three physical microphone elements: a first physical microphone element 1420 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1422 for a first audio signal obtained from the first physical microphone element 1420; a second physical microphone element 1480 that is an omnidirectional element having an angular response 1482 for a second audio signal obtained from the second physical microphone element 1480; and a third physical microphone element 1430 that is a first order directional element having an angular response 1432 for a third audio signal obtained from the third physical microphone element 1430.
