Course Description

Aim

The aim of this course is to know how to model electroacoustic systems with analytical approaches and equivalent networks.

Prerequisite

Electronics refresh, Vibrations refresh

Contents

  • Model an electroacoustic system with an analytical approach and equivalent circuits.
  • Usual characteristics of an electroacoustic chain.
  • Analyze a mechanical system and represent the equivalent electrical diagram.
  • Calculate analytically the response of a mechanical system.
  • Analyze an acoustic system and represent the equivalent electrical diagram
  • Calculate analytically the response of an acoustic system.
  • Represent the equivalent network to the usual couplings (electromechanical, electroacoustic).
  • Represent the equivalent network to an electrodynamic transducer.
  • Calculate analytically the response (efficiency, sensitivity) of an electrodynamic transducer.
