# REPORT ON THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE EXPERIMENT (MULTI MICROPHONE METHOD) USING pwelch METHOD (POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY) ## REPORT OF THE ABSOLUTE CALIBRATION * For the absolute calibration we require acoustic calibrator (MODEL-CAL200) and the microphone is gently inserted into the acoustic calibrator for the calibration * Output level of the calibrator = $94$ (or) $114 dB$ - tolerance(+- $0.2dB$) at $1KHz$ (+-1% tolerance) frequency * we have performed two cases for the absolute calibration - Nominal level 114 dB with signal generated from the calibration (near distance) - Nominal level 114 dB with signal generated from the calibration (far distance) - Near distance means the calibrator is kept nearer to the apparatus i.e, DAQ, Signal conditioner, test rig and far distance the calibrator is kept at far distance from the apparatus ### Nominal level 114 dB with signal generated from the calibration (far distance) * Output level | Nominal level| rms pressure | Test result |
