The discussion revolves around the theoretical calculation of impedance for an acoustic transducer based on known parameters of conductance and capacitance. Participants explore the implications of these parameters and the need for additional information to accurately determine impedance.
Participants express differing views on the sufficiency of conductance and capacitance for calculating impedance, indicating that multiple competing views remain regarding the role of inductance and the need for additional information.
Limitations include the dependence on the configuration of the transducer (series or parallel), the potential significance of inductance, and the frequency range of interest, which remain unresolved.
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.nauman said: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
