Abstract
Modern miniature electret microphones normally include an internal amplifier to buffer the very high electrical impedance of the electret motor. This amplifier, usually an FET source follower circuit, generates a part of the noise in the microphone output signal. The electrical noise originates in the semiconductor and in the resistive components of the electrical circuit. Recent developments have reduced the electrical noise considerably so that it is no longer the dominant source. The other noise sources are the resistive components of the mechanical and acoustical impedances within the microphone. This paper describes recent work and special measurement methods that have helped to identify and reduce the acoustical noise components.
