Determination of Wave Motion Correction Values Required for Comparison Calibrations of a New Working Standard Microphone.

Abstract
Comparison calibrations of microphones based on the reciprocity method are performed with both the microphone under test and a reference standard microphone inserted into an acoustical coupler. For these calibrations, the wave motion correction W is needed to account for the departure from spatially uniform sound pressure amplitude in the coupler at frequencies for which the coupler interior dimensions are not small compared to a wavelength of sound. This internal report describes the procedure used to determine the values of W4192 applicable to comparison calibrations of a relatively new working standard microphone, the Bruel and Kjaer model 4192, and provides these values.Citation
