  • Broadband underwater acoustic transducer
    Patent number: 8027224
    Abstract: An efficient, broadband, underwater acoustic transducer having nominally a quasi-omnidirectional radiation pattern is realized with a plurality of thin walled radially vibrating hollow spherical piezoelectric transduction elements aligned axially. Each spherical transduction element is progressively smaller in diameter so as to enhance the combined frequency coverage and achieve the desirable radiation pattern. The transduction elements may be excited individually, or together electrically in series or in parallel combinations.

  • Baffled ring directional transducers and arrays
    Patent number: 6768702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a directional electro-acoustic transducer and arrays of transducers of the cylindrical or ring electro-mechanical type in conjunction with a partial conformal acoustic baffle. Such a device has very desirable directional beam patterns that are nearly frequency independent over a significant frequency range and the radiation is has a characteristic broadband frequency response due to multimode excitation.
