A hybrid design of beamformers for voice control devices

In this paper, a new approach to designing beamformers for voice control device is proposed. It is well-known that under a strong near-field noise with low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), the performance of speech recognition is deteriorated significantly. However, designing the beamformer for enhanci...
