A Second-Order Gradient Noise Canceling Microphone Using a Single Diaphragm
Abstract
A close talking, noise canceling microphone has been developed which responds to the second order of the pressure gradient and which has only one diaphragm. Since there are four sound pressures involved in a second-order gradient microphone it has been deemed necessary in the past to have four surfaces for the four pressures to act upon. This microphone has sound entrances to the two surfaces of a single diaphragm spaced and oriented in such a manner as to produce the second-order effect, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio over that obtained in a first-order gradient microphone. Mathematical analyses are made of the microphone first as a purely theoretical microphone with infinitesimal spacing of the sound entrances, then as a microphone with dimensions between sound entrances which are practical for use in a microphone of this type.
