Description

This STTR Proposal addresses the need for a"Low cost acoustic transmitter"that combines an integrated power source, power amplifier, control-circuitry along within an innovative transducer assembly. Our approach is to use a transducer which becomes part of the housing and encloses the electronics and, moreover, uses a minimum energy to provide a sizable source level. This transducer assembly is configured to be used as a single element or as part of an array. The low cost design is scalable and can cover a multitude of sonar applications. A program is presented for further analysis and improvements during a Phase I effort.
