Piezoelectric transducers

If you are looking for ultra sonic range, meaning sound above the hearing range that is 1 to 20,000 kHz, then you are saying the wrong word, should be sonic and no ultra.

what you ask is range from 100 Hz to 200 kHz, and for receiver. May I suggest you look for piezoelectric transducers in general. The frequency range you are asking is no big deal, most of the transducers can cater for this range without any problem.

Principles of piezoelectric can be applied as transmitter (converting electrical energy to mechanical movement) or as receiver (converting mechanical energy to electrical signal).

Simply Google with key word piezoelectric transducers and wallah, you will get a long list of websites offering this information.

Thanks. The cost is major concern. I can't get the exact price of the sensor. Is there anyway to get the information ?

Dear Sir

Before going into the product, you have to first select the right type, configuration and specification for your application. There are hundreds and maybe thousands of different types, material, movements, mechanical structure, constructions and electro-mechanical properties to choose from.

To get the right product, go to the specification sheets. There are a number of manufacturers who have their catalogs and specification sheets online.

I am not trying to sell you something from companies, but there are two companies which you may source the piezoelectric transducers:

Piezo Systems Inc

http://www.piezo.com/catalog.html

SensComp Specification Sheets

http://www.senscomp.com/specsheets.htm

Please be reminded, sound travels through different media at different speed. Through air the velocity is about 300 meters per second, and through liquids such as water and oil is between 1200 to 2600 meters per second, depending on temperature, density and pressure. Sound travels fastest through solids, and much depend on the molecular structure of the solid.

There is much research work done and ongoing on this area of sonic, supersonic and ultrasonic applications, in which the sound at its resonance is at the highest optimal energy level.
