Anechoic Chamber, A-Weighting & dBAnechoic Chamber• A chamber with walls that absorb sound energy and do not reflect it back

(Enables accurate measurement of the direct sound path)

A-weighting• A standard for specifying a sound energy distribution over the audio range

(Enables specifications to relate to human hearing sensitivity)

dB• A method used to easily express ratios of pressure levels over a wide range

• dBpressure = 20*log10(Pressure1/Pressure2)• Power is proportional to the square of the pressure

• dBpower = 10*log10(Power1/Power2)

• Pressure• 2:1 = 3 dB, 10:1 = 20 dB, 1,000:1 = 60 dB, 1:100,000 = -100 dB

Sound Pressure (in air) & SPLSound Pressure (in air)• Loudness (volume) of sound is related to the magnitude of air pressure change

• Sound pressure is specified in units of Pascal (Pa)

SPL (Sound Pressure Level, specified in units of dB)• Ratio of measured sound pressure relative to 20 µPa of pressure

- 20 µPa is the threshold of hearing (0 dB SPL)

- Human perception of sound level changes

- 1 dB SPL (1.26 X power): threshold of detection

- 3 dB SPL (2 X power): generally noticeable

- 6 dB SPL (4 X power): quite noticeable

- 10 dB SPL (10 X power): ‘twice as loud’

- 1 Pa is equal to 94 dB SPL

Sensitivity• Measured in dBV for analog and dBFS for digital

• Ratio of microphone output voltage from 1 Pa excitation at 1 kHz

- Analog; Sensitivity (dBV) = 20 x log10(SmV/Pa ÷ Ref); Ref = 1000 mV/Pa

- Digital; Sensitivity (dBFS) = 20 x log10(S%FS ÷ Ref); Ref = 1.0

• A larger value of sensitivity is better than a smaller value of sensitivity

- -23 dB is better than -36 dB

Sensitivity Tolerance• Typical MEMS microphones exhibit tolerances from ±3 dB down to ±1 dB

• Relates to both initial and long term matching of sensitivity between microphones

- Important for phased array applications

Ratio of Desired Signal to Undesired Noise

• Measured with standardized excitation

• Specified in dB

• Larger SNR values are good

- 53 dB is better than 48 dB

SNR = 20 log(PS/PN)

• PS – Output signal level

- Measured at 1 Pa (94 dB SPL) at 1 kHz

• PN – Noise signal level

- Measured at 20 kHz bandwidth- A-weighted- Characterized in an anechoic chamber

Acoustic Overload Point (AOP)• Excitation sound level where distortion rises rapidly

- Defined at a 10% distortion level

Dynamic Range• Ratio of maximum to minimum sound pressure microphone can handle• Maximum sound pressure

- Sound pressure which creates 10% distortion in output waveform

• Minimum sound pressure- Equivalent sound pressure to create microphone background noise level

• A larger value of dynamic range is better than a smaller value of dynamic range
