Abstract
The present disclosure is of a bone conduction microphone. The bone conduction microphone comprises of a laminated structure and a base structure. The laminated structure is formed by a vibration unit and an acoustic transducer unit. The base structure is configured to load the laminated structure. At least one side of the laminated structure is physically connected to the base structure. The base structure vibrates based on an external vibration signal, the vibration unit deforms in response to the vibration of the base structure, and the acoustic transducer unit generates an electrical signal based on the deformation of the vibration unit. A resonant frequency of the bone conduction microphone is within a range of 2.5 kHz-4.5 KHz.
