An ultrasonic pulse generator using the transducer as a frequency determining element

Author

Donald E. Watke

Abstract

"This paper describes the development of a method of ultrasonic pulse generation in which the transducer determines the frequency of oscillation. A definite advantage of this method is the ability of the frequency of oscillation to change with changes in the transducer mechanical resonant frequency. This maintains peak efficiency at all times. The method is demonstrated in a small sonar transmitter but could be applied to any area involving driven ultrasonic transducers"--Abstract, page ii.
