The acoustic field generated by a monodimensional source is simply expressed by a sum of a small number of terms, reducing significantly the complexity of the operations involved. The numerical results obtained with this method are remarkably in agreement with those obained through the exact convolutional method. It is shown that the proposed approximate monodimensional method can be usefully employed for the design and optimization of both linear- and sector-scanning visualization systems.","PeriodicalId":371797,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128671759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the experimental results, it is found that the new quartz temperature sensor has a linear frequency-temperature response and a larger frequencpsensitivity lo temperature than the ones of the previously reported. This sensor also has fast thermal time constants for the low temperature transients. NUSUAL climatic phenomena have recently had a most baffling effect on the agriculture, forestry, fishery, and industry all the world over. Therefore, it will be of much importance to make these phenomena well understood and try to present basic ideas that would hopefully lead to world-wide cooperation in coping with the problems. In meteorology, we take an interest in the three-dimensional precision and remote-sensing systems for the global temperature with respect to seawater and the atmosphere. We think that our study will be able to help establish part of those systems, for we have recently discovered a new quartz temperature sensor which exhibits a higher degree of frequency linearity over a wide temperature range compared with the previous types. What is more, it has to be pointed out that the electronic system around the temperature sensor will be much simplified without any device for linearization of frequencytemperature characteristics. The purpose of our research is to help design a sensor characterized by ultralinear frequency-temperature responses. In this paper some features of such sensors will be discussed in detail according to theoretical and experimental results. 11.

The system transfer function and delay formula are derived. Although the most general SAW-VCDL configuration consists of three controlling signals, it is shown that the delay introduced by the system depends only on the frequency of the signal that serves as an input to the mixer between the two chirp filters. The other two controlling signals affect the center frequency of the output spectrum and the system bandwidth, but not the delay. A new configuration of a SAW-VCDL, which uses two identical chirp filters, is then proposed and analyzed for two types of controlling signals. Laboratory experimental results are provided to support the analysis.","PeriodicalId":371797,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126222388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flexural vibrations haw been observed propagatng both along and perpendicular to the x-axis of the crystal. In only high-frequency (30-MHz, third overtone) thin unbeveled circular disk resonators, evi- dence of circular flexural waves is found for the first time. Beveling of these resonators makes the flexural waves linear, and they propagate only along the x-axis. The studies suggest the immediate application in time and frequency standardization in using thicker quartz crystal res- onators for obtaining purer thickness vibrations relatively free from flexural components and ewcitng resonators in higher overtones to achieve high frequencies and higher stabilit) index. Crystal resonators (plates or disks) are capable of vibrating in different modes. Primarily, these modes can cause extensional. flexural, or shear (thickness or face) motions. In the actual practice of using bonded resonators, due to finite dimensions and reflection from boundaries, there results a complex elastic coupling of these different modes which gives rise to a host of frequencies that a crys- tal resonator is capable of vibrating at. A variety of experimental techniques (l) have been used for mode identification and also to suppress the undesired modes due to the underlying urge and the associated requirement of using a crystal resonator in the purest possible mode of vibration in frequency-control instrumentation. Among the new sophisticated experimental techniques. scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used for about a decade to study vibrations in quartz crystals (2)-(4). In the technique, an electron beam (usually accelerated to about 2 kV) is used to monitor the electrical potential distribution onto the resonator surface, which is due to its piezoelectric effect. The SEM micrographs thus exhibit a particular mode of vibrations of the crystal in operation. At high magnification (2000-5000X), where only a very small area of the surface is examined, the micrographs represent an uniform electric potential and the smearing in the patterns can be used either to measure the displacement or track the direction of vibrations. The SEM has been used in the recent past by Bahadur er d., (5)-(7) and Bahadur and Parshad (3), (4) to monitor the energy trapping and its absence in some resonator disks. Also, some com- plex SEM micrographs were reported occurring both for rectangu- lar plates and circular disks. In some cases of rectangular plates. a regular periodic band structure was attributed (l), 181 to represent appropriate overtones of flexural vibrations having their resonance frequency close to the fundamental thickness-shear vibrations. It was observed that the propagation of flexural vibrations was parallel to the x-axis of the crystal. In the measurements (l).
