Abstract

A method for designing a broadband transducer was investigated experimentally. Control of the resonance frequency of a Piezoelectric circular transducer with two pairs of electrodes was achieved by varying the inductance of external coil connected across the terminal of one pair of electrodes of transducer. The conductance curves of transducer in water were obtained as a function of the inductance value in mH of the coil used in the tuning. As the tuning inductance is increased in value, the resonance frequency is reduced toward the fundamental frequency of 50 kHz. This interesting result suggest that it is possible to produce a continuously tunable transducer covering a frequency range between 61.3 kHz and 121.7 kHz by varying the inductance value of external coil from 2.7 mH to 15.0 mH. One of other problems in the design and construction of such broadband transducer is the transducer efficiency, but this will be the subject of our future work.

어종의 식별을 위한 음향학적 정보를 추출해 내는 데 활용하기 위한 초음파 변환기를 설계하기 위한 시도의 하나로꺼 전극분할 원반형 압전진동자를 이용하여 공진주파기를 가변시켜 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 사용할 수 있는 어군탐지기용 송.수파기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 초음파 변환기는 전극분할형 압전진동자의 한쪽 전극에 발전기를 접속하고, 다른 쪽 전국에 2.7~15.0 mH 인덕턴스를 접속하였을 때, 경방향에 대한 공진 주파스는 49.5~ 55.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬 수 있었고, 또한 외부에서 진동자에 인가한 임피던스의 영향에 의해 출현하는 공진주파수에는 61.3~121.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬수 있었다. 그러나, 이들 주파수에 대한 전기음향효율을 고려 할때, 실제로 활용할 수 있는 주파수 범위는 이것보다 훨씬 좁은 폭이 될 것이라 판단된다.
