Abstract
This work introduces a MEMS microphone with two pairs of orthogonal and joined sensor membranes, with independent acoustic directionality responses, leading to a 3D sound localization potential. This single microphone can thus be regarded as two individual bi-directional microphones. Combining this architecture with the fly Ormia ochracea's tympana mechanism, this microphone is also the first biomimetic MEMS microphone with piezoelectric sensing, designed for 2D sound localization.
