Abstract
This work develops a high-frequency high-sensitivity inlaid cylindrical hydroacoustic transducer by enhancing the electromechanical coupling coefficient, amplifying stress, and adopting circumferential inlaid techniques. Equivalent circuit and finite element simulation methods were used to determine the optimum parameters of the unit, then the transducer was fabricated. Tests show that the resonant frequency of every array unit was 220 kHz. The maximum emission voltage response and reception sensitivity were respectively about 172 dB and −177 dB, with emission and reception bandwidths both about 40 kHz at 3 dB loss. The horizontal and vertical beamwidths were 15° and 4° for each unit respectively.
