ECM microphone simulation problem

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to simulate the directivity pattern of uni-directional ECM microphone but using the opposite way to do it.

My method is adding the acceleration boundary on the diaphragm on the ECM instead using a external sound source, I heard that this method is called "Reciprocal Theorem", but after several tests, the simulation result still can't fit the experiment result.

I'm wondering that is the "Reciprocal Theorem" not work here or there are something I missed.

Thank you in advanced.

Most likely a displacement condition would more in line with the membrane movement for a constant (as function of frequency) pressure.
