Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a sound source, in particular to a sound source which utilizes a transducer to emit sounds of two different frequencies simultaneously. Background technique
[0002] Sound sources with small size, low frequency and good directivity are useful in many ways, and the sound source of parametric array sonar has these characteristics. In parametric array sonar equipment, it is required to transmit two original frequency sound signals f with relatively close frequencies 1 , f 2 . After the two original frequency sound signals are transmitted into the water medium, due to the nonlinear effect of the water medium, there will be combined frequency and difference frequency phenomena. Since the combined frequency is much higher than the difference frequency, it will be quickly absorbed by the medium. The difference frequency can propagate a relatively long distance because the medium absorbs it less. Therefore, the difference frequenc...
