Question about wave data and MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR and steering vector

[NAM-hj]

Hi,
Thank you for your nice code.

I have some questions. Please answer me.

1. How do you get the data?
It seems to be a .wav file of the CHiME dataset.

2. How do you get the MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR and LOOK_DIRECTION?
As I understand, MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR is assigned for each microphone.
And as I know, chime's channel 1~6 represent the mic (http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/chime_challenge/chime2015/overview.html).

But your MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR is hard to understand.
MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR = np.array([0, 60, 120, 180, 270, 330])

I'd liked to know the definitions and equations of the MIC_ANGLE_VECTOR and LOOK_DIRECTION.

3. Could I know your reference for the steering vector?
These two equations are the steering vector equation which I know.

h=exp(-j2\pi * freq / c * r * cos(theta)) [1]
h_i=exp(-j2\pi * freq / c* (r_i-r0)) / N * (r_i/r_0) [2]

As I understand, the first equation[1] assumes that the target source arrives at the microphone in the planar wave. And the second equation[2] assumes that the target source arrives at the microphone in the non-planar wave.

Especially, there is no usage of MIC_DIAMETER.

Thank you again for your nice code.

No I don't.
I used these two repos.

Thanks for your reply. Have you ever used these two methods？ And can you achieve results？

I was looking for the baseline performance. So, I achieve my target.
