System and method for calibrating phase and gain mismatches of an array microphone

Abstract

The invention provides a system for calibrating phase and gain mismatches of an array microphone. The array microphone is installed in a voice interface device and comprises a plurality of microphones. The system comprises a loudspeaker and a computing equipment. The loudspeaker plays a segment of sound to be received by the array microphone. The computing equipment controlls the voice interface device which converts the segment of sound to a plurality of audio signals with the microphones of the array microphone, records the audio signals outputted by the voice interface device at bypass mode without any signal processing, calculates delays between the audio signals, and instructs the voice interface device to adjust phase mismatches between the audio signals according to the delays.
