High Power Amplifier for Acoustic Transducer

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Nauman is seeking a solid-state pulsed power amplifier capable of delivering approximately 340 Vrms to a 25-ohm load for an acoustic transducer, with a power output around 4.5 kW. The amplifier must operate in pulsed mode with a duty cycle of less than 1%, a maximum pulse length of 5 ms, and a frequency range of 400-500 kHz. The discussion highlights the need for commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) amplifiers that meet these specific technical requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solid-state pulsed amplifiers
  • Knowledge of acoustic transducer specifications
  • Familiarity with electrical impedance and power calculations
  • Experience with high-frequency applications (400-500 kHz)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research COTS solid-state pulsed amplifiers suitable for high power applications
  • Explore specifications of amplifiers designed for acoustic transducer applications
  • Investigate power amplifier design principles for pulsed operation
  • Learn about impedance matching techniques for 25-ohm loads
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and technicians involved in the design and implementation of high-power acoustic systems, particularly those working with solid-state amplifiers and ultrasound technology.

Hi all

I am in search of a Power Amplifier (preferably Solid state pulsed amplifier ) which is able to output around 340 Vrms across 25 ohm impedance load (acoustic transducer operating at approx 4.5 KW) in pulsed mode with duty cycle less than 1%, maximum pulse length of 5 ms and operating frequency is in range of 400-500 KHz.

If anyone knows about COTs power amplifiers meeting these requirements, kindly share with me.

Thanks & Regards
Nauman

What is the application? What is your background working with voltages over SELV? What is your experience working with ultrasound at those power levels?...
