In order that speech recognition system may have a high recognition rate in a noisy environment, a wide-band sharp directional microphone system is required at the input for securing a high S/N ratio. The authors have already reported the realization of a wide-band uni-directional microphone system by three-microphone integration method. In this paper, we intend to describe the derivation of sharp directivity function and the realization of its microphone system. First, setting the shape of the characteristic function to bring a sharp directional pattern and then expanding it into the Fourier series, we derive a new directivity function. Next, on the basis of this directivity function, we will present a sharp directional microphone system with only three non-directional microphones and the subsequent analog signal processing. And also, the directional pattern acquired by the proposed method and the effect of the directivity are discussed in detail.
