Main contribution

The research explores how to generate directional beams with a single transducer and how to characterize their behavior for localization tasks. This reduces complexity compared with systems based on sensor arrays.

Link with BoND1

Although it focuses on acoustics, the article connects with BoND1 through its interest in localization, sensing and communications in environments where infrastructure must be efficient. The idea of extracting spatial capability with reduced hardware is consistent with the vision of sustainable and deployable IoT networks.
