Abstract
Microphone distortion reduction is presented herein. A system can comprise: a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: obtaining a pressure-in to voltage-out transfer function representing a distortion of an output of a microphone corresponding to a stimulus of a defined sound pressure level that has been applied to the microphone; inverting an equation representing the pressure-in to voltage-out transfer function to obtain an inverse transfer function; and applying the inverse transfer function to the output to obtain a linearized output representing the stimulus. In one example, the obtaining of the pressure-in to voltage-out transfer function comprises: creating an ideal sine wave stimulus comprising the amplitude and fundamental frequency of the time domain waveform; and generating the equation based on a defined relationship between the ideal sine wave stimulus and the time domain waveform.
