摘要
Porous piezoelectric ceramics of Pb(Zr, Ti)O3, (P-PZT), have been newly developed to apply to transducers in an echo sounder. The P-PZT was prepared from a mixture of PZT and poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) powders. The piezoelectric characteristics of the P-PZT such as the dielectric constant (epsilon), voltage output constant (g constant), acoustic impedance (Z(c)) and Q were evaluated. The P-PZT was employed in an echo sounder of 200 kHz, and its transmitting and receiving properties were measured in water. In these measurements, the P-PZT showed suitable characteristics for the echo sounder, which required high sensitivity, wide frequency bandwidth and high resolution. High sensitivity was realized by the large g constant and low Z(c) of P-PZT which made the impedance matching with water much easier. In the acoustic response to the burst wave, the rise and fall time were shortened to 1/3 that of the conventional PZT transducer.
