Abstract
A multilayer PVDF transducer design is presented. The design allows the overall sensitivity of the PVDF polymer transducer to be significantly improved while retaining PVDF film's wide bandwidth properties. This is achieved by implementing the pulse compression technique through a multiple piezoelectric polymer layer assembly. A detailed theoretical model that allows the performance of the multilayer transducer to be predicted was developed. Experimental data were collected by using the PVDF needle hydrophone with enhanced bandwidth specially designed by Medicoteknisk Institute (Force Institutes, Copenhagen, Denmark). A good agreement between experimental data and computer simulations was obtained.
