ME 593 Underwater Transducers and Arrays
This course provides a detailed look at the modeling and design of electroacoustic transducers and arrays for underwater applications. Common types of underwater transducers will be examined for both acoustic transmitters and receivers, and the corresponding array characteristics will be discussed. Specific topics covered will include modeling of piezoelectric transducers for various geometries, hydrophone and projector designs, phased arrays and array directivity.
