Road to Acquisition: Preparing a MEMS Microphone Array for Measurement of Fuselage Surface Pressure Fluctuations.

Preparing and pre-testing experimental setups for flight tests is a lengthy but necessary task. One part of this preparation is comparing newly available measurement technology with proven setups. In our case, we wanted to compare acoustic Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) to large and proven surface-mounted condenser microphones.
