  • Patent number: 5784341
    Abstract: The invention relates to underwater acoustic transmitters intended to be submerged at large depths. It consists in threading the set of annuli forming the transmitter onto an internal tube (303) preferably made from a carbon/resin composite, which supports two end plugs (306, 307) making it possible to relieve the set of annuli of the radial component of the hydrostatic pressure. Furthermore, between the piezoelectric annuli (101) of the transmitter are inserted decoupling annuli (301) which are made as a three-layer structure including a hard and rigid internal layer (201) and two flexible and elastic external layers (202, 203). It makes it possible to increase the transmitting power of these acoustic transmitters.
