Previous Projects
 

  INSTRUMENTATION

  • Measuring microphones for airborne sound, 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" diameter, covering the frequency range 2Hz-150Hkz
  • Airborne audio/ultrasonic transducers covering frequency range 30Hz-500kHz.
  • Fiber optic head laser vibrometer capable of detecting velocities as small as 0.5um/sec over frequency range 1Hz-250 kHz, displacement sensing to DC, and microscope attachment to focus beam to a spot size of 5 um.
  • 30"x30"x30" water tank equipped with automated XY traverse for C-Scan or underwater measurements.
  • Underwater ultrasonic transducers, 100 kHz, 500kHz, 5MHz, and 20 MHz, flat and focused.
  • Automated linear and rotary stepper driven scanners.
  • Audio and RF power amplifiers.
  • Measuring instrumentation including digital oscilloscopes, digital spectrum analyzers, preamplifiers and filters.
  • Numerous computers for data acquisition and analysis.
