ABSTRACT:
A small low frequency acoustic receiver which is formed into a cylinder or ing by use of a plurality of separate elements of piezoelectric material. Each element is secured with its sides in face-to-face relationship with an electrode between each joined face in contact with each adjacent element. The electrodes are alternately connected into an electrical circuitry for transmitting electrical signals to a receiver.
Other construction techniques may be used to assemble separate elements in a cylindrical arrangement. Over a band of very low frequencies, the cylinder or ring has a high sensitivity (i.e., it produces a large electrical signal) to sound incident in the axial direction compared with its sensitivity in the radial direction. Over this band of very low frequencies the sensitivity of the cylinder or ring is relatively constant for sound incident in the axial direction. This band of very low frequencies is much lower in frequency than any mechanical or acoustical axisymmetric resonance of the cylinder or ring.
