acousticelectronic
Acousticelectronic is a field that studies the interaction between acoustic phenomena and electronic systems. It covers devices that generate, detect, or process sound, and the signal chains that link acoustic transducers with electronic circuitry. The term describes technologies that convert between electrical signals and audible or ultrasonic waves, across consumer, industrial, and scientific applications.
Core components of acousticelectronic systems include transducers such as microphones, loudspeakers, and piezoelectric actuators; front-end electronics
Historically, acousticelectronic developments followed advances in audio amplification, electroacoustic transduction, and, later, solid-state electronics and microfabrication.
Applications span consumer audio, telecommunications, sonar and navigation, medical ultrasound imaging and therapy, nondestructive testing, automotive
Related technologies include SAW/BAW filters, MEMS microphones and actuators, ultrasonic transducers, piezoelectric sensors, acoustic metamaterials, and
Future directions include AI-assisted processing for smarter sensing, energy-efficient wireless acousticelectronic nodes, flexible or wearable implementations,
