Interferometric Microphone Calibrator And Comparison Calibrating A Microphone
Published Patent Application Numer: 2022/0394404 A1
Abstract
An interferometric microphone calibrator for comparison calibrating a microphone, the interferometric microphone calibrator comprising: an interferometer in optical communication with a microphone and that produces an interferometer measurement light, communicates the interferometer measurement light to the microphone, and receives an interferometer backscattered light from the microphone, such that a sensitivity of a test microphone is interferometrically calibrated to a reference microphone from the interferometer backscattered light; a preamplifier-controller in electrical communication with the microphone, and that receives a driver signal from a microphone driver and drives the microphone driver; the microphone driver in electrical communication with the preamplifier-controller and that receives a driver control signal from a calibration controller and produces the driver signal based on the driver control signal; and a calibration controller in electrical communication with the microphone driver and that produces the driver control signal and communicates the driver control signal to the microphone driver.
