Development of a directional MEMS microphone resilient to wind noise for outdoor consumer devices
Development of a directional MEMS microphone resilient to wind noise for outdoor consumer devices
Project
This project focuses on developing a directional MEMS microphone that is resilient to wind noise, addressing a significant challenge for outdoor applications like mobile devices and earbuds. Developing solutions for such markets would expand Soundskrit’s product offering and increase the widespread adoption of MEMS directional microphones. This project entails development at multiple levels: component (MEMS transducer) design, packaging (microphone lid), product integration (meshes, air gaps), and software (signal processing).
"Soundskrit’s directional MEMS microphones provide superior voice isolation to ensure clear communication through consumer electronic devices, adding to Canada’s strong portfolio of pioneering semiconductor technologies."
