Abstract

See full text

This specification relates to an active SONAR system comprising a transmitter, a transducer and an impedance matching circuit for expanding bandwidth and increasing a power factor value in sound and ultrasonic wave bands by mutually matching resonant frequencies of the transducer and the impedance matching circuit or a resonant frequency between the transducer and the impedance matching circuit using an electrical equivalent model corresponding to actual impedance data of the transducer and controlling the positions and the intervals of the frequencies at which reactance components of the transducer including the impedance matching circuit become zero, and an impedance matching method thereof. This allows for efficient driving in a broadband between the transmitter and the transducer in the active SONAR system, contributing to output power performance and detection performance of the active SONAR system.
