Abstract

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for compensating nonlinear distortions. The system receives a signal corresponding to an input sound pressure which is detected by a capacitive MEMS microphone. The capacitive MEMS microphone includes an active capacitance and a parasitic capacitance. The system determines a nonlinear relationship between the signal and the input sound pressure; and determines, based on the signal, an input parameter associated with the active capacitance and the parasitic capacitance. The system further determines an output signal based on the input parameter and the output signal and the input sound pressure have a linear relationship. The system compensates the signal based on the determined output signal and outputs the compensated signal as an output so that the output has the linear relationship with the input sound pressure.
