Overview

Conventional directional microphones have various constraints when attempting to deliver high performance along with a small footprint. There is performance degradation when size decreases relative to the target sound wavelength. Thus, there is a need for a miniature microphone that is able to provide excellent sound source localization.

Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a miniature acoustic sensor system that fully incorporates a fly ear inspired sensor mechanism which provides maximum directional sensitivity and minimum nonlinearity, and in an extremely small size.

Applications
