Abstract

Acoustic signals emitted by multiple sources in a room are mixed together due to reverberation, resulting in a loss of intelligibility of speech. Here, we demonstrate that the acoustic channel matrix among multiple inputs and outputs can be controlled with reflective reconfigurable intelligent surfaces by the mean of wavefield shaping. We show how 2×2 and 4×2 channels can be customized almost at will. This research has many potential applications, including scenarios such as enhanced indoor speech communications and recognition.
