Abstract

See full text

A system for self-testing an acoustic monitor includes a memory that stores a reference acoustic power of a reference acoustic signal; a digital signal processor (DSP) that computes a real-time acoustic power spectrum of background noise in a frequency range of about 20 Hz to about 80 kHz; a microphone including analog signal conditioning circuitry that receives an acoustic test signal at a test frequency and sound pressure level (SPL), the SPL including an attenuation level; and a processor that compares a measured acoustic power at the test frequency with a calculated acoustic power of the acoustic test signal, the calculated acoustic power including the reference acoustic power and the attenuation level; where the acoustic monitor includes the DSP in signal communication with the microphone.
