Self-Reciprocity Calibration of Electroacoustic Transducers

Abstract

By an extension of the reciprocity principle for the absolute measurement of sound, it is demonstrated that a calibration may be obtained on a single transducer without the aid of auxiliary transducers. Measurements using the technique are described and shown to give satisfactory agreement with conventional calibrations.
