Recently, radar based micro-Doppler signature analysis has been successfully applied in various sectors including defence, biomedical, and automotive. This article presents the novel use of radar micro-Doppler for loudspeaker analysis. The approach offers the potential benefits of characterizing the mechanical motion of a loudspeaker in order to identify defects and design issues. Compared with acoustic based approaches, the use of radar allows reliable measurements in an acoustically noisy end of a production line. In addition, when compared with a laser vibrometric approach, the use of radar micro-Doppler reduces the number of measurements required and provides direct access to the information of the metallic components of the loudspeaker. In the paper experimental results and analysis of the micro-Doppler signatures of loudspeakers using low cost radar systems are presented. Based on Thiele&Small parameters, the voice coil displacement is modelled and micro-Doppler signatures for a single tone and a sine sweep stimulus are presented. Furthermore, in order to characterize the speaker with a single radar measurement, a methodology to measure mechanical frequency response of loudspeakers is also shown. 19 Index Terms-Radar, micro-Doppler, micro-Doppler analysis, loudspeaker analysis, industrial processes. I. INTRODUCTION 20 L OUDSPEAKERS condition monitoring is an important 21 topic in audio manufacturing. Laser based analysis tools 22 have been shown [1] to yield significantly better results 23 compared to traditional acoustic ones. The former approach 24 is more frequently used in advanced markets like automotive 25 audio components and systems, while the latter is widely 26 used in R&D and manufacturing of acoustic transducers and 27 consumer products (e.g. loudspeakers or audio products).
