Abstract
The design of a new wideband, quantitative shock wave hydrophone is presented. A self-monitoring feature, based on the change in hydrophone electrode resistance as the electrode materials are removed by shock wave action, indicates that the hydrophone element needs to be replaced. Development efforts include: reducing the manufacturing costs; determining the relationship between electrode resistance and hydrophone sensitivity; developing a resistance monitoring approach; and rapidly making reliable electrical connection to the disposable hydrophone elements. Acoustical characterization data indicate that the hydrophone fulfill the requirements for accurate, wideband measurements of lithotripter fields; the disposable feature makes the system cost-effective for research, quality assurance and regulatory submission.
