Abstract

Acoustic measurements Calibration Design methodology Instruments Piezoelectric transducers Signal design Signal processing Spectral analysis Spectroscopy Ultrasonic variables measurement
Time-delay spectrometry (TDS) can conveniently be used for calibration and performance evaluation of piezoelectric electroacoustic transducers. The main emphasis of the work reported here is an experimental evaluation of the TDS technique. The TDS concept is introduced through a theoretical analysis. The experimental evaluation is carried out using specially designed measurement methods and instrumentation which uses a spectrum analyzer as the central analog signal processing unit. The optimal performance of the TDS measurement systems is analyzed in terms of relevant instrumentation parameters. The advantages and disadvantages of TDS, including practical performance limitations, are discussed, along with the measurement uncertainties of the method. It is shown that TDS in the frequence range covering both underwater acoustics and medical ultrasonics applications offers a viable alternative to other calibration techniques, such as those based on a gated burst measurement system.< >
