Abstract:
This application relates to an apparatus ( 300 ) for monitoring an operating temperature condition of a microphone device ( 100 ) having an acoustic port ( 110 ). The apparatus includes a spectrum peak detect block ( 301 ) for receiving a microphone signal (S MIC ) and determining, from the microphone signal, a resonance frequency (f H ) and a quality factor (Q H ) of a resonance ( 202 ) associated with the acoustic port of the microphone. A condition monitoring block ( 302 ) is configured to determine any change in resonance frequency and quality factor with respect to respective reference values of resonance frequency and quality factor and to determine a temperature condition for the air temperature within the acoustic port based on said determined changes.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus as claimed in  claim 15  wherein the spectrum peak detect block comprises a controller responsive to the activity detector, wherein the controller is configured such that if the activity is above an activity threshold the relevant spectrum signal is not used to determine an indication of resonance frequency or quality factor that is output from the spectrum peak detect block.
