  • Transducer and system of arrangement for a panel array
    Patent number: 9214149
    Abstract: A sensor system includes a pressure sensor portion, and an accelerometer. Outputs from the sensor system are handled by a signal processing system that includes a first beamforming module for inputs from a pressure sensor, a second beamforming module for inputs from an accelerometer, and an adaptive beam interpolation module. A method for signal processing signals from both a pressure sensor and an accelerometer. An array of sensors transfers data wirelessly.
    Type: Grant
