TRANSDUCERS FOR HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW TEMPERATURE

Abstract

The experience of the U. S. Navy Underwater Sound Reference Laboratory in making transducer calibration measurements as a function of static pressure and temperature indicates that the sensitivity of experimental sonar transducers frequently changes with the ambient conditions. Shifting resonant frequency is one of the more common and important changes. Standard calibration transducers that are stable with pressure, temperature, and time have been developed. Design considerations are given, and examples are shown. (Author)
