Acoustic Performance
Abstract
U. S. Naval Research Laboratory Reports 1205 and 1214 presented the results of initial tests with an interim ARTEMIS source consisting of a one wave length square array. This report describes additional tests with an enlarged array in which fifteen of the twenty transducer modules of the full array were installed. While the enlarged array results in improved operating characteristics with respect to acoustic loading and velocity distribution, it was found that the permissible operating power level is still severely restricted by abnormally high transducer displacements which can cause mechanical destruction of the transducer elements.
