Terra Tuesday: Windscreen
Quick Facts
It's time for another Terra Tuesday update!
This past week, the custom sewn windscreen assembly has arrived. This is the final sample of the windscreen, which on approval, will kick off it's mass production. This will be one of the several techniques used to reduce unwanted wind noise when listening to Terra.
Overall, we found the fit to be perfect. We are now testing the wind reduction properties to see if we need to make any last second adjustments. None are expected though.
Noise Cuprit
We have narrowed down the noise to something a bit unexpected: an impedance mismatch of the WiFi antenna. We are adjusting this antenna's properties to reduce the impulse noise we were seeing in some instances. I am spending this week to test this, and if all goes well, we will order the new version of the printed circuit board.
