A Sonar Transducer Simulator

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1214411 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A transducer simulator was developed in order to facilitate accurate laboratory testing of certain types of sonar equipment. This instrument simulates the electrical outputs of a multisection, submerged sonar transducer receiving a signal from a source anywhere within its sound beam. It enables complete phase-characteristic tests of phase-sensitive receiving devices (such as sector scan indicators and their associated coupling and combining units) to be made within the Laboratory, reducing the work load on overtaxed underwater facilities.
