Abstract
Micro speakers are used to reproduce sound in small electric and information and communications devices, such as cellular phones, PMPs, and MP3 players. The acoustical properties and sound quality, which are changed due to the decreased size of the speaker, are often adjusted varying the type and thickness of the diaphragm. The most widely used diaphragm material is thin polymer. It was previously reported by the author of this paper that the resonance frequency of a micro speaker is changed by the type and thickness of a polymer diaphragm. In this paper, the frequency response near the resonance frequency of a micro speaker was studied as functions of the type and thickness of the polymer diaphragm. While <TEX>$R_{max}$</TEX> and <TEX>$R_{DC}$</TEX> were affected by the type and thickness, an analysis of the electrical impedance curve revealed that <TEX>$R_o(= R_{max}/R_{DC})$</TEX> and <TEX>${\Delta}f$</TEX> were not changed. Thus, <TEX>$Q_{TS}$</TEX> which was function of <TEX>$R_o$</TEX>, <TEX>${\Delta}f$</TEX>, and the resonance frequency, is only related to the resonance frequency. The increase of the resonance frequency led to a proportional rise of <TEX>$Q_{TS}$</TEX>. The change of the frequency response near the resonance frequency was not dependent on the type or thickness of the polymer diaphragm, but was affected by the resonance frequency.
