Master Thesis - Aeroacoustic Characterization of Piezoelectric MEMS Microphones (f/m/d)

YOUR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES

As a part of the EU-funded AEROMIC project [1], this thesis aims to characterize the piezoelectric MEMS microphones for aeroacoustic measurements developed at SAL.
The main tasks include:

• Packaging of piezoelectric MEMS microphones
• Electrical and mechanical characterizations
• Acoustic characterizations (e.g., sensitivity, bandwidth, and dynamic range)

 [1] This project has received funding from the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101007958. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Clean Sky 2 JU members other than the Union.
