Looking for ultrasound transducer

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking an affordable ultrasound transducer probe for marine applications, specifically side scan sonar and ROV imaging, with specifications of 1.2-2.5 MHz frequency, a 360-degree cone, and dual element PZT. They want to avoid medical-marketed products due to inflated prices. Suggestions include checking the Physics Today website for potential options. The focus is on finding a cost-effective solution that meets the technical requirements. The discussion emphasizes the need for specialized equipment in marine settings.

I can't seem to find a simple ultrasound transducer probe (that won't have "medical" tagged on it, hiking up the price). I need at least 1.2-2.5 mhz, 360 deg cone, high power. Dual element PZT. This is for marine application (side scan sonar/ROV imaging). Can anyone tell me where I can find it, preferably cheap?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
