Abstract:
The influence of distance on Taylor diagrams with one, two, and three depressed inner lobes was analyzed in the context of linear distributions. High sidelobes are tolerated in these patterns, except in the case of the inner lobes, which are positioned at a significantly lower level to minimize interference and optimize efficiency. The classical method described by Elliott was used to compute the necessary roots in the Taylor distribution. The study was conducted considering n¯ equal to 6 and a sidelobe level (SLL) of -20 dB for all lobes except the first inner positioned at -40 dB.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
