    Differential microphone arrays have been widely used in hands-free communication systems because of their frequency-invariant beampatterns, high directivity factors and small apertures. Considering the position of acoustic source always moving within a certain range in real application, this letter proposes an approach to construct the steerable first-order differential beampattern by using four omnidirectional microphones arranged in a non-orthogonal circular geometry. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show beampattern constructed via this method achieves the same direction factor (DF) as traditional DMAs and higher white noise gain (WNG) within a certain angular range. The simulation results also show the proposed method applies to processing speech signal. In experiments, we show the effectiveness and small computation amount of the proposed method.
