However, the high directivity of an ADS is seriously affected by the mismatches between its sensitive units. In this article, (1) a theoretical model of mixed mismatches was established based on the finite-difference approximation model of uniaxial acoustic particle velocity gradient and its ability to reflect the actual mismatches was proven by the comparison of theoretical and experimental directivity beam patterns of an actual ADS based on MEMS thermal particle velocity sensors. (2) Additionally, a quantitative analysis method based on directivity beam pattern was proposed to easily estimate the specific magnitude of the mismatches, which was proven to be useful for the design of ADSs to estimate the magnitudes of different mismatches of an actual ADS. (3) Moreover, a correction algorithm based on the theoretical model of mixed mismatches and quantitative analysis method was successfully demonstrated to correct several groups of simulated and measured beam patterns with mixed mismatches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23125709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]],"date-time":"2023-06-20T01:59:30Z","timestamp":1687226370000},"page":"5709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantitative Analysis Method and Correction Algorithm Based on Directivity Beam Pattern for Mismatches between Sensitive Units of Acoustic Dyadic Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Lingmeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5776-8665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhezheng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4566-5519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wangnan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Chengchen","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Yilong","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenchuan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wiggins, A.M., and Beaverson, W.A.
