ABSTRACT:
An improved, single diaphragm SOD microphone uses acoustic filters to remove resonances associated with the ducting that guides the ambient sound pressure to the front and rear faces of a FOD microphone element. The microphone element communicates with respective front and rear chambers, two ports communicate with the front chamber via front conduits, and two ports communicate with the rear chamber via rear conduits. The microphone further comprises first and second side chambers for dissipating acoustic energy of undesired resonances. The first side chamber communicates with the front conduits, and the second side chamber communicates with the rear conduits. In specific embodiments of the invention, each of the side chambers comprises a branch conduit approximately equal in length to one-quarter wavelength of an undesired resonance. In certain embodiments, each of these branch conduits includes a small neck joining the branch conduit to its corresponding front or rear conduits. In other embodiments of the invention, each of the side chambers comprises a Helmholtz resonator. Each Helmholtz resonator, in turn, comprises a short branch conduit leading to a resonant cavity having a prescribed volume.
