Abstract

Underwater transducers for broadband communication rely on effective tuning and matching to a power amplifier for maximum signal bandwidth and efficiency. This analysis follows a systematic approach to design an efficient and effective broadband acoustic transmit system. Power switching (class D) amplifiers use a variety of modulation schemes to reduce the losses incurred at the high power amplification stage. Lowpass filtering at the output stage of the switching amplifier is often employed to attenuate the high frequency carrier signal from the modulation stage. A matching transformer steps up the voltage delivered to the transducer. The tuning network can be designed to provide optimum cancellation of reactance over a wide band, thus improving the power factor bandwidth.
