Abstract
In the previous chapter we examined the process of acoustic transduction and the way in which transducers might be assembled to meet particular design objectives. The common requirements in specification are:
-
1.
Selection of transmission frequency
-
2.
Selection of transmission bandwidth (or Q-factor)
-
3.
Selection of power drive capability
-
4.
Transducer electrical to acoustic conversion efficiency
