Transducer Characterization Using First Principle Measurement Techniques

Abstract

As an employee of the Bose corporation this past summer, I was able to take part in the company's strive to improve scientific understanding of sound reproduction using speakers. This paper will be divided into five main parts. First, the main component of a speaker, the transducer, will be explained. The second section will discuss transducer characterization. The third section will present the work I did this past summer. Fourth, the future goals of the past summer project will be discussed. Finally, the paper will conclude with some reflections on the work done.
