Description

A ground-penetrating sonar echo locating device uses acoustic energy to locate underground structures, such as piping. A transducer, driven with two frequencies whose amplitudes would be rapidly attenuated in surface or through-the-ground transmission, is directed toward the ground through a silastic waveguide having a non-linear characteristic that produces a narrow beam of acoustic energy having negligible side lobes at a third frequency that is relatively unattenuated in ground transmission to produce reflections indicative of sub-soil conditions.

Appareil de détection par écho (sonar) qui utilise l'énergie acoustique pour étudier des structures souterraines, telles que de la tuyauterie. Un transducteur fonctionnant sur deux fréquences, dont les amplitudes seraient atténuées rapidement dans une transmission superficielle ou souterraine, est dirigé vers le sol grâce à un guide d'ondes en Silastic possédant des caractéristiques non linéaires et produisant un faisceau étroit d'énergie acoustique, aux lobes latéraux négligeables. Ce transducteur fonctionne à une troisième fréquence, peu atténuée en transmission souterraine, et produit des échos révélant de l'état du sous-sol.
