  • Systems and methods for detecting transient acoustic signals
    Patent number: 9949025
    Abstract: A two-scale array for detecting wind noise signals and acoustic signals includes a plurality of subarrays each including a plurality of microphones. The subarrays are spaced apart from one another such that the subarrays are configured to detect acoustic signals, and the plurality of microphones in each subarray are located close enough to one another such that wind noise signals are substantially correlated between the microphones in each subarray.
