Abstract
A new type of PVDF hydrophone, the multilayer planar PVDF hydrophone, is described. The hydrophone disturbs measured acoustic fields very little and has a high sensitivity. The noise-equivalent pressure of the hydrophone is 45 dB re 1 /spl mu/ Pa per Hz bandwidth. The working frequency range of the hydrophone is 20 kHz/spl sim/4 MHz. In the range 100 kHz/spl sim/1 MHz, the hydrophone has a flat frequency response with sensitivity -205 dB /spl plusmn/1.5 dB (0 dB=1 V//spl mu/Pa). In this range, the hydrophone has been used for five years as a standard one. Two other applications (measurements of noise spectra and ultrasonic imaging) are also reported. >
