Abstract: A sound source for acoustic communication, navigation, and networking of an underwater glider may include a cylindrical body, a rigid front section disposed anteriorly to the cylindrical body, a plurality of metal rods, a resonant pipe surrounding the rods, and a rod-mounted piezo-ceramic transducer disposed between the body and the front section. Each rod may be attached at a first end to an anterior portion of the body and at a second end to a posterior portion of the front section. The pipe may be disposed between the body and the front section. The transducer may be disposed within the pipe. A posterior end of the pipe may be separated from the anterior portion of the body by a first orifice, and an anterior end of the pipe may be separated from the posterior portion of the front section by a second orifice.

Abstract: A low frequency underwater sound source for use in an autonomous underwater vehicle includes a cylindrical body having a front portion, a rear portion, a cylindrical piezo-ceramic ring transducer disposed therebetween, and a resonant pipe surrounding the transducer. A gap is formed between an inner surface of the pipe and an outer surface of the transducer. Alternatively, the sound source includes a cylindrical body, a front fairing disposed forward of the cylindrical body, a plurality of metal rods connecting the front of the cylindrical body and the rear of the fairing, a spherical piezo-ceramic transducer disposed between the cylindrical body and the fairing, and a resonant pipe mounted at the front end of the cylindrical body. The spherical transducer is disposed within a cavity within the resonant pipe. A cylindrical orifice is formed between the front end of the resonant pipe and the rear of the fairing.

Abstract: An underwater sound source includes a cylindrical body having a front body portion, a rear body portion, a cylindrical piezo-ceramic ring transducer disposed therebetween, a flexible sleeve configured to cover an outer surface of the cylindrical piezo ceramic ring transducer, and a resonant pipe mounted to the cylindrical body and surrounding the cylindrical piezo-ceramic ring transducer. The resonant pipe is disposed around the cylindrical piezo-ceramic ring transducer, forming a gap between an inner surface of the resonant pipe and the outer surface of the cylindrical piezo-ceramic ring transducer.
