Control of Parameters of Probing Signals of an Underwater Piezoelectric Transducer

In regard to one of the piezoelectric transducers (PET) of radiation-reception system of an autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle (AUV), a comparative study was made of the possibility of obtaining the minimum length of the probing signal for two cases of its operation: by applying mechanical damping of the piezoelectric element (PE) and using corrective electrical circuits connected to the electrical side of the PET. The solution of the problem is considered for the case of excitation of PE by electric signals of different length. The parameters of the electrical circuit are determined, which make it possible to minimize the length of the probing pulses.
