SBIR Phase I: Low-cost, High-performance Microphones Enabled by MEMS Integration Innovation

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将为创造一种具有当今最高精度测量麦克风性能特征的新型麦克风奠定基础，但其尺寸和成本接近消费电子产品中的麦克风。该项目的更广泛影响是，通过降低仪器麦克风的成本，学校和教育机构将更容易获得高质量的测试和测量。除了仪器仪表应用之外，拥有高性能、低成本、小尺寸的麦克风可以对其他消费市场（如助听器市场）产生强烈影响。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will lay the foundation for creation of a new microphone with performance characteristic of the highest precision measurement microphones today, but with size and cost approaching those of microphones found in consumer electronics.The broader impacts of this project are that by reducing the cost of instrumentation microphones, access to high-quality test and measurement will be more available to schools and educational institutions. Beyond instrumentation applications, having a high performance, low-cost, small-sized microphone can have a strong impact on other consumer markets isuch as the hearing aid market.
