Abstract:In a complex marine environment, high-efficiency, ultra-wideband sonar transducer can improve its imaging resolution and there is an urgent need for the detection and identification of the seabed landforms. The bandwidth expansion of the traditional transducer is usually achieved by using a single or multiple uniformly matching layers, but it cannot meet the ultra-wideband performance requirement of the transducer in water because it fails to achieve an optimal acoustic impedance transition. An acoustic gradient impedance matching layer material proposed for ultra-wideband needs largely compensates for this shortcoming. This gradient matching layer material had the characteristic that the acoustic impedance decreased in the direction of thickness according to an exponential law z(x)=z_1 e^2αx. According to analytical calculation and finite element simulation method, the gradient material was implemented by filling the fluid mixture into the conical cavities structure by 3D accurately printing and the acoustic impedance test was carried out. On this basis, a gradient matching layer transducer was developed. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the relative bandwidth of the gradient matching layer is 14% higher than that of the traditional double matching layer, reaching the results of the experimental design.
