Popis: The directional emission properties of a circular device formed of a small number of metallic rods placed at the nodes of Penrose’s tiling are investigated. At the center of the device a non-directional primary source emits monochromatic acoustic waves. In a wide frequency range, the beams come out of the device along preferential directions related to the symmetry of order 5 of the tiling and the non-periodicity in the radial direction. There are some frequencies for which the waves are completely trapped by the device. The shape, the distribution and the intensity of the emitted beams outside are closely dependent on the frequency. A comparison between numerical results and experiments is presented.
