Schematic (not to scale) of the cochlear analog device. (a) Cross-sectional cut along design centerline. (b) Top view of the design. A key feature is the exponentially tapered membrane width, which provides the varying acoustic impedance needed for cochlear-like frequency-position mapping. The width of the tapered membrane has been intentionally scaled up with respect to the rest of the drawing to improve visibility.
