Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Materials Science
  • Mechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Wind tunnel experiments are vital for aerodynamic noise research and noise reduction technology validation.
  • Microphones are essential components for acoustic measurements in these experiments, facing challenges with low sound pressure and small model surfaces.
  • Existing microphone technology may not meet the stringent requirements for high-sensitivity, small-volume measurements in confined wind tunnel environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of acoustic measurements in wind tunnel experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) as the core transducer technology for sound pressure level detection.
  • Designed FBARs integrated with a diaphragm, positioning them at the diaphragm's edge for optimal acoustic sensing.
  • Established a multi-scale, multi-physical field coupling analysis model for comprehensive microphone simulation and optimization.
  • Optimized structural design parameters of the FBAR and diaphragm through simulation to enhance microphone performance.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed a microphone sensor head with a size less than 1 mm × 1 mm.
  • Achieved high sensitivity of approximately 400 Hz/Pa at the first-order resonance frequency.
  • Demonstrated excellent linearity of better than 1%, indicating reliable performance across a range of sound pressures.
  • The optimized design confirmed the feasibility of using FBARs for sensitive aerodynamic acoustic measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The presented FBAR-based microphone sensor head offers a significant advancement for aerodynamic noise research.
  • Its small size, high sensitivity, and linearity make it ideal for challenging wind tunnel acoustic measurements.
  • This technology can improve the accuracy of aerodynamic noise generation mechanism studies and noise reduction technology verification.
