Transducers as Projectors

  • Chapter
Transducers and Arrays for Underwater Sound

Part of the book series: Monograph Series in Underwater Acoustics ((UA))

Abstract

Active sonar and acoustic communication systems rely on electroacoustic transducers which “project” sound that is subsequently detected by hydrophones through a direct path or reflection from a target. Our focus in this chapter is on the projector which is significantly larger and more complex than the hydrophone because of the need to generate high acoustic intensity.
