Thinned array transducer for sonar |
摘要 |
The thinned arrayed transducer for a sonar system includes an array of sonar elements mounted in rows (layers) and columns (staves) on a structure, preferably cylindrical, to form a checkerboard pattern wherein the spacing between adjacent elements in the rows and the columns is equal to or greater than lambda m/2, where lambda mis the wavelength of the signal of frequency fo transmitted in the medium where the sonar is being used. The transducer structure is made from a layered cloth impregnated with a phenol based material, and includes openings in which the sonar elments are mounted. The sonar elements which are effectively a half wavelength in length consist of a cylindrical ceramic section fixed end-to-end to a cylindrical metal section. The metal section is made of a loading metal, such as brass. The transmit-receive circuitry energizes the elements by row using a modulated signal to form a variable sonar beam. The signals detected by the elements are combined by column or stave to provide a column output signal and the signals from adjacent pairs of columns are combined to provide the output signals for the data processor.
