A scattered array is not like the other arrays, probes fixed on a grid, but the probes are mounted directly on the structure. This sometimes is needed because the shape of the object that needs to be measured is very curvy. A good example of the use for a scattered array is measurements inside a car so called panel noise contribution analysis. If you want to do sound source localization so called panel noise contribution, structures aren't flat most of the time. The mounting for the scattered array is designed in the way the PU mini probe is mounted vibrationless from the to be measured surface so it doesn't move cohinside with the structure. This technique can also being applied on other applications such as measuring sound intensity on very big structures.
