h1. Overview

The Source Modelling Toolbox is a collection of Matlab functions for designing FDTD source excitation signals and source functions. It is associated with the following paper:

*J. Sheaffer, M. van Walstijn, and B. M. Fazenda. "Physical and numerical constraints in source modelling for finite difference simulation of room acoustics." Submitted.*

In the meanwhile, if you find the tools on this page useful, please consider citing our published work:
