STM-Based Hydrophone Sensors

Abstract

Detailed PERT charts have been made up, which identify project tasks and subtasks, the responsible individuals, and their monthly time allocations. Subcontracts have also been prepared; Preliminary hydrophone transducer packages have been designed, incorporating tunneling transducer elements. Single-chip, integrated (sensor plus power electronics plus multiplexing) designs are presently under consideration; Calculations of membrane deflections and frequency responses versus membrane dimensions, consistent with tunneling sensitivities, are presently underway; Electronic interfaces and power requirements are being investigated; and Consultant agreements, and tasks, have been initiated.
