| contents | Acoustic metamaterials provide new opportunities for compact and efficient wavefront manipulation, extending beyond conventional bulky and power-intensive phased-arrays. In this work, we exploit the spatial encoding properties of the acoustic metagrating aperture to transform incident acoustic fields into compressed measurements for single-pixel acoustic source localisation. The proposed method enables accurate direction finding of acoustic sources over both 180 and 360 degrees angular ranges. Numerical simulations confirm the robustness of the metagrating-based compressive sensing approach against noise and limited sampling. Experimental validation is conducted to verify its feasibility with practical metagrating prototyes. Compared wiith tranditional array-based localisation techniques, the single-pixel metagrating system significantly reduces hardward complexity while maintaining high localisation accuracy. These findings demonstrate the potential of integrating compressive sensing with acoustic metagratings for compact, low-cost, scalable source detection systems, with prospective applications in industrial monitoring, target tracking and non-destructive health monitoring. |
