MPS is compact flexural disk transducer array, with elements stacked vertically, making is most suitable for underwater long range applications where high acoustic power is required. The strong silicon covering and steady structure makes its best to be used in sea water for long period of time.
6 Flexural disc transducer stacked vertical
Higher Power Low Frequency Acoustic Source than single FDT
Horizontally omni-directional
Longer Range
Can be used as projector at depths of 10m or greater to ensure a sufficient amount of pressure is placed on the transducer due to the flexural motion
Reliable, robust, high performance, low frequency transducers
High power low frequency acoustic source
Ranging Applications
