MULTI-MODE PIPE PROJECTOR

摘要

An underwater acoustic projector comprising a pair of spaced apart end plates with an acoustic driver positioned between the end plates, the driver having smaller cross-sectional dimensions than the end plates. Each end plate close one end of an open ended tubular pipe waveguide and that plate is mechanically connected to one end of a piezoelectric drive unit with a tubular waveguide extending inwards and surrounding the end portion of the acoustic driver.
