Acoustic characteristics and Distortion of an Ionic Loudspeaker

Abstract: This paper presents some acoustic characteristics of a positive-corona-discharge loudspeaker, based on a parallel array of wires (corona electrode) and bars (collector electrode). The acoustic pressure is a combination of a monopolar and a dipolar term. The former arises from heat exchange in the wire surroundings and the latter stems from elastic collisions of drifting ions and neutral molecules in the gap between the electrodes. The relative contribution of both terms is studied. A differential circuit is de… Show more

“…Since we are studying frequencies above 3 kHz, the absorption coefficients of the walls are all above 0.97 (data provided by the manufacturer). A custom-made plane ionic transducer (21.5 cm wide  30 cm high) [18] placed in the middle of the box was used as the acoustic source. Due to its constructive characteristics, the transducer emits roughly-plane wavefronts and operates effectively as a volume velocity source with both monopolar and dipolar components, allowing it to excite modal resonances both with zero and maximum particle displacement at its center.…”

“…Así se obtiene una mayor superficie de ionización y con ello aumenta el volumen de aire desplazado y la presión sonora. El primer prototipo construido fue un arreglo plano de electrodos en el que verificamos que el mismo irradiaba, en el campo lejano, como un pistón rectangular sólido [8]. En la Fig.…”
