Summary :

Wide-band, low-ripple underwater transducers with high-power acoustic radiation capability have been designed on the basis of multiple-mode filter synthesis theory. They are composed of triple acoustic matching plates and double backing plates with optimized specific acoustic impedances,besides piezoelectric ceramic elements. One of the backing plates employs a Fe damping-alloy to suppress unwanted response peaks in the frequency range above the passband region. Two 33 array transducers were fabricated, each with a center frequency of 200 kHz, one as a transmitter and the other as a receiver. The two transducers show high-sensitivity, low-ripple and wide-band transmitting and receiving responses. Then, the transducers were applied in a color video picture digital transmission system.Clear color video pictures, composed of 256240 pixels, were successfully received within one second.
