Research abstract
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-COST, DEPTH INSENSITIVE, CLOSELY MATCHED ACOUSTIC SENSORS WILL BE INITIATED. THE MOST LIKELY TECHNOLOGY FOR THESE SENSORS IS OIL-BACK THIN FILM POLY-VINYLIDENE FLOURIDE PLASTIC. THESE CAN GIVE A PERFORMANCE EQUIVALENT TO CURRENT CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY, BUT AT AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE LESS COST. PHASE I WILL DESIGN FABRICATE & TEST A PROTOTYPE SENSOR.
