MULTIELEMENT LINEAR DISCRETE HYDROACOUSTIC ANTENNA

摘要

FIELD: hydroacoustic equipment design. SUBSTANCE: antenna has cylindrical air-filled elements installed along center line of polymeric compound-filled hose and provided with holders with central holes, and electric power distribution lines; each holder is made in the form of solid cylinder of flexible polymeric material and joined at butt ends to ends of adjacent piezoids and to carrier cable passed along hose axis; it has crimpers on both ends to center piezoids by their inner diameters. EFFECT: simplified design of antenna and improved directional properties.
