When [Mahesh Venkitachalam] was experimenting with machine learning for audio applications on a Raspberry Pi, he found himself looking for a simple USB microphone. A cheap one was easy to find, but ...

Like their electret condenser microphone (ECM) counterpart, MEMS microphones extract audio pressure changes as electrical signals. However, MEMS microphones boast a reliable monolithic structure and ...

The application of MEMS (microelectro-mechanical systems) technology to microphones has led to the development of small microphones with very high performance. MEMS microphones offer high SNR, low ...

We are seeing a lot of interest in simulating noise, particularly for condenser microphones. With any transducer, noise reduction is always a plus, and with microphones there are two specific ...

MEMS microphones have emerged as a bright spot among consumer sensors, which in general are going through a rapid commoditization and profit-squeezing trend. To understand what’s driving the MEMS ...

The simultaneous acquisition and measurement of signals from a microphone array presents a variety of challenges to developers seeking to evaluate their designs, says Joe Begin. Today’s smart devices ...

Infineon Technologies is entering the packaged silicon microphone market to address the need for high performance, low noise MEMS microphones. The analogue and digital microphones are based on the ...
