7.3 Checking resonant frequency characteristic
Procedure 1 : using the impedance check circuit shown in figure 7.1.
Make an impedance check circuit as shown in figure 7.1 and measure the resistance at various
frequencies. Plot the measured resistance vs. frequency.
The typical curve is shown in figure 7.2.
Impedance
Figure 7.2 Resonant characteristic curve : Frequency vs. Impedance
To check the transducer whether it is good or not, compare the curve with one obtained from a good
transducer.
If the transducer is defective, impedance curve differs form that of the normal transducer.
•
When transducer elements peel off the housing, the ratio of A to B increases. This is similar to
the measurement in air.
•
When transducer element is cracked, several other resonant points may be obtained.
•
When transducer element split up, resonant point may be not obtained at the frequency "Fo".
