The development of a reliable miniature molded transducer for the
Williams/Koehler acoustic current meter, BASS (Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor)
ls documented. The procedures developed and components selected for manufacturing
the transducer assemblies are documented as well as some of those
rejected.
Engineering tests performed to ensure reliable performance in the field
are outlined and discussed as well.
The transducers are now routinely molded with great success (over 1200
operational transducer months to date) and commercial sources are being investigated.

Performance of the parametric receiving array : effects of misalignment
(Acoustical Society of America, 1987-11)The difference frequency sound field from two concentric but misaligned, axisymmetric, planar transducers in a nondissipative and nondispersive medium is developed as a special case of the general theory [Garrett et al., ... -
Coincidence echo statistics
(Acoustical Society of America, 1996-01)Two scatterers at similar range give an echo which may appear to be due to a single scatterer. Methods for determining target strength that depend on resolving single scatterers may fail in this instance. Statistics ... -
A sound projector for acoustic tomography and global ocean monitoring
(IEEE, 2003-07-09)Long-range underwater acoustic systems, such as those used in ocean acoustic tomography, require low-frequency signals covering a broad frequency band. To meet this requirement, a novel design based on of a tunable ...
