Abstract

A ceramic microphone is described which comprises a diaphragm for receiving sound waves, a thin ceramic plate attached to the diaphragm for transducing the sound waves to electric signals, and a plurality of electrodes on each of the opposite sides of the ceramic plate, the plurality of electrodes being polarized so that each of a pair of the electrodes faced across the ceramic plate forms a capacitor and the opposite-polarity electrodes of each of the capacitors are serially connected each other.
