Measured results are presented that demonstrate the use of proportional and derivative electronic feedback to improve the performance of a directional microphone. The microphone diaphragm consists of a 1 x 2 mm stiffened plate fabricated out of polycrystalline silicon that is supported on a central hinge. The sound pressure gradient incident on the diaphragm produces a rocking motion about the central hinge. Interdigitated comb fingers at each end of the diaphragm enable both capacitive sensing and electrostatic actuation. The sound pressure gradient near the diaphragm has been measured by numerically differentiating the pressure measured by a probe microphone at locations around the diaphragm. The sound-induced motion of the diaphragm was measured using a laser vibrometer. From these measurements, estimates of the mechanical parameters of the diaphragm were obtained. By applying a known quasi-static voltage across the interdigitated fingers and measuring the resulting diaphragm deflection, an estimate for the derivative of the capacitance with respect to the displacement is obtained for the comb fingers of the diaphragm. Using these experimentally determined parameters and a linearized dynamic model of the system, the measured response of the microphone system with feedback is accurately predicted.
