Efficient Detection of Buried Conductors in the Seabed
Abstract
The primary objective is to demonstrate that water solutions with ionic concentrations similar to seawater can act like an insulator" and exhibit electrical breakdown. The relationship between gap length, solution concentration and applied pulsewidth will be explor""ed in a conventional arrangement. One determined, we will consider implementable arrangements such as emitters to establish an elect""ric field to act like a sensor. For demonstration, a submerged wire can be used as a dummy element. The sensor scenario allows for c""onsiderations of waveform tailoring as well as reductions in size weight and power (SWaP). The circuit architecture, sometimes calle""d a ~spiker-sustainer~, separates the high voltage generation from the high current sub-circuit.
