    Abstract: An acoustic sensor device includes a substrate and a first transducer supported by the substrate, the first transducer configured to generate a first output signal when exposed to a sound wave. The acoustic sensor device also include a second transducer supported by the substrate, the second transducer configured to generate a second output signal when exposed to a sound wave. The first transducer and the second transducer are configured such that the first output signal generated by the first transducer and the second output signal generated by the second transducer are opposite in polarity.

    Abstract: An acoustic sensor module includes an acoustic sensor device including a transducer and an enclosure configured to encapsulate and seal the acoustic sensor device within the enclosure. The enclosure includes a first sound port configured to couple a first side of the transducer to an embodiment environment via a first acoustic channel formed in the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a second sound port configured to couple a second side of the transducer to the embodiment environment via a second acoustic channel formed in the enclosure. The enclosure additionally includes a notch formed on a surface of the enclosure. The notch is configured to enable detection of a leakage path, within the enclosure, between the first sound port and the second sound port around an outside of the acoustic sensor device.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) transducer includes a substrate and a pair of electrodes supported by the substrate. The pair of electrodes are configured as a bias electrode-sense electrode couple. A moveable electrode of the pair of electrodes is configured for vibrational movement in a first direction during excitation of the moveable electrode. The pair of electrodes are spaced apart from one another by a gap in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The moveable electrode includes a cantilevered end, the cantilevered end being warped to exhibit a resting deflection along the first direction.

    Abstract: An acoustic module includes a plurality of acoustic sensor devices and a plurality of sound ports configured to couple the plurality of acoustic sensor devices to an ambient environment. The plurality of acoustic sensor devices includes at least a first acoustic sensor device and a second acoustic sensor device. The plurality of sound ports includes at least a first sound port, a second sound port, and a third sound port. The first acoustic sensor device includes a first transducer having a first side coupled to an ambient environment via the first sound port and a second side coupled to the ambient environment via the second sound port. The second acoustic sensor device includes a second transducer exposed to the ambient environment on one side via the third sound port. The first sound port, the second sound port, and the third sound port are positioned in the acoustic module such that the third sound port is at least approximately aligned with a midpoint between the first sound port and the second sound port.

    Abstract: An electrostatic transducer includes a substrate oriented in a plane, a fixed electrode supported by the substrate, and a moveable electrode supported by the substrate, spaced from the fixed electrode in a first direction parallel to the plane, and configured for movement in a second direction transverse to the plane, such that an extent to which the fixed and moveable electrodes overlap changes during the movement. The fixed and moveable electrodes comprise one or more of a plurality of conductive layers, the plurality of conductive layers including at least three layers. The fixed electrode includes a stacked arrangement of two or more spaced apart conductive layers of the plurality of conductive layers.
