Abstract:
This seminar focuses on modern methods for designing and manufacturing microspeakers and other small, light and cost-effective loudspeakers reproducing the sound at high efficiency and sufficient sound quality as required in telecommunication, automotive, multi-media and other professional applications. The seminar gives an overview on physical modeling of loudspeakers in the large signal domain which is necessary to explain the relationship between geometry and the properties of the materials on the one side and the transfer behavior and the performance onthe other side. Meaningful loudspeaker parameters (T/S, nonlinear and thermal) and other specifications (amplitude response, directivity, power) are discussed which allow a comprehensive description of the transducer. Prof. Klippel addresses the fundamentals of loudspeaker diagnostics which is important to interpret the measurement results and to localize the causes of the defects and to develop alternative design choices.

Perturbation methodPerturbation method: : SealedSealed Test BoxTest Box11
Pro :Simple technique Cms is measured primarily
Problems :• Depends highly on precise valueof effective radiation area Sd
• Residual air volume (inside the transducer) can not be considered
• requires sealed diaphragm
• can not be used to measure mechanical mass without air load
•Time consuming

Target:• Make in-Phase component dominant • Suppress anti-phase component
Steps: 1. find location of in-phase component2. use FEA to simulate behavior3. ( , , )
increase bending stiffness at this area (thickness, curvature, rips)

ConclusionConclusion
Displacement sensors + scanner + signal processing
cost effective solution for loudspeakervibrometry
Geometry + Vibration data is basis for analysis
Interaction between vibration + radiation are important
New decomposition techniques simplifies interpretation
