High Level Transmit-Receive Switch System. Conformal/Planar Array Sonar Project.

Abstract

The objective of this report is to discuss the high-level transmit-receive (TR) switch system and associated problems encountered with a high-power multiple-element sonar system. The results of the investigation of various methods of performing the function of a high-power TR switch are presented and discussed. The functions of a high-level TR switching system are: (1) Connect the transmitter to the transducer and isolate the receiver from the transmitter signal during the transmit interval. (2) Connect the receiver to the transducer and isolate the receiver from the transmitter circuitry during the receive interval. (3) Withstand effects of instances of abnormal conditions such as: (1) the transmit switch opening and closing during the transmit interval, (2) receive switch closing and opening during the transmit cycle, and (3) an underwater explosion initiating abnormal voltages at the transducer input.
