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
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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.
