Abstract:
A microphone apparatus is provided. The microphone apparatus includes a microphone cover; a circuit board, an integrated circuit, a first microphone, and a second microphone. The integrated circuit is coupled to the microphone cover and the circuit board to form a first chamber and a second chamber. The first microphone is placed inside the first chamber and configured to capture a first acoustic signal from a sound source. The second microphone is placed inside the second chamber and configured to capture a second acoustic signal from the sound source. The first microphone and the second microphone have the same sensitivity, phase, and omni-directivity. The integrated circuit performs a time-delay process on the second acoustic signal and subtracts the time-delayed second acoustic signal from the first acoustic signal to generate a differential signal. The integrated circuit forms a polar pattern of the microphone apparatus according to the differential signal.
