Impedance setup Microflown offers now a complete solution to measure your material properties in situ. The properties like acoustic absorption, acoustic reflection or impedance can be measured in just a few minutes, broad banded and under normal and oblique angles. This with a small, handheld impedance gun. A complete and easy to deploy hard and software solution is offered.

V1.0 2009-06

As the method also works on curved materials, also the quality of the acoustic package as applied in the final assembly lines can be tested. A new era on quality control has only just begun, triggered by this novel and easy to use in situ surface impedance method.

Specifications - Hardware - Impedance Gun

The impedance gun is designed to decouple the PU probe and the speherical loudspeaker, and still keep it as one hand held device. The distance between both is a known fixed distance.

Speaker specs:Frequency response: 80Hz -20kHzImpedance: 8 OhmDiameter: 12,4 cmWeight: 480gS/N: >95dBMax SPL: 111 dB

Specifications - Hardware - Signal conditioning and DAQ

The system comes along with the MFSC-2 and MFDAQ-2. The MFSC-2 is a 2 channel signal conditioner used to power en readout the microflown sensor. The PU probe has 2 outputs, pressure (P) and particle velocity (U). The MFDAQ-2 is a 2 channel data acquisition system that reads in two analogue channels. The inputs of the DAQ are 2 standard BNC connectors. The out put connection to the computer is a trough USB.More info and specs can be found in the datasheet and manual of the and

Specifications - Software

The surface impedance software is an MATLAB executable. The software is

. One free field calibration measurement

. After measuring the result can be shown within seconds. All relevant data like absorpion, reflection and impedance can be plotted quickly.
