Development of a 1093 deg C (2000 deg F) Prototype Microphone Transducer. Phase 2

Abstract

A program for the continued development of a 1093 deg C (2000 deg F) microphone system is described in the Final Report for Contract F33615-74-C-3011. The one year contract was issued to Kaman Sciences Corporation in Colorado Springs, Colorado by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory at Wright- Patterson AFB, Ohio in November of 1973. The report describes the objectives, goals and priorities of the research program. The analytical activities, experimental studies, system fabrication and design, performance testing, and extension of the measuring technique to other measurands are presented. The program conclusions and recommendations are also discussed. Two prototype microphone systems were designed and tested during the program. The standard microphone was designated as prototype 1, whereas prototype 2 featured a high sensitivity diaphragm design. A microphone design similar to that used for prototype 2 is recommended for any prototype production. Virtually all the program objectives and design goals were either achieved or significantly advanced from the previous effort under contract F33615-72-C-1199.
