Finding theoretical impedance of acoustic transducer

Click For Summary
Calculating the impedance of an acoustic transducer is possible if its conductance and capacitance values are known, but the configuration of these parameters (series or parallel) is crucial. Additional factors, such as inductance and the frequency range of operation, can significantly influence the actual impedance. The assumptions made by the data providers regarding resonance may also affect the analysis. A deeper understanding of the transducer's equivalent network is necessary for accurate calculations. Electromechanical acoustic circuit analysis is recommended for further exploration of these concepts.

Hi all

If we have an acoustic transducer and values of its two parameters are known, i.e conductance and capacitance, is it possible to calculate impedance using these two parameters?

Thanks

Yes.
Are those parameters in series or in parallel ?
What is the transducer equivalent network ?

It's hard to say without knowing more about your transducer. Of course we can calculate the impedance from your two parameters (after you answer @Baluncore's question), but is that the actual impedance of the transducer? I suspect that inductance matters too, it usually does. Over what frequency range? Often, if you are working away from resonance, you can ignore some parameters. The people that gave you that data may have made some assumptions about what is important. They may also have designed it to be used at resonance, in which case the resonant frequency and the capacitance will determine the dominant inductance.

So, basically, we need to know more to answer your real question.

I mentioned in a post some time ago now that, at present, the renewable energy debate here in Australia is mired in economic issues, not technical issues this forum is concerned with. It still is, but a new twist has appeared - the need for synchronous condensers: https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=9AKK107258&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch All sides seem to agree they are needed, and the discussion is now around their economics. The economics is not in...
