  • Low frequency hydrophone
    Patent number: 4188609
    Abstract: A fluid-filled compliant tube immersed in seawater to detect low frequency sound waves. The tube has only a middle portion of its length exposed to incident acoustic energy waves and a mode conversion causes a corresponding frequency acoustic wave in the tube, but of greatly reduced wavelength. Transducers are positioned at either end of the tube to detect the waves in the tube, the length of which is chosen to be a half wavelength of the waves in the tube.
