An orthomode transducer (OMT) is a waveguide component that is commonly referred to as a polarisation duplexer. Orthomode is a contraction of orthogonal mode . Orthomode transducers serve either to combine or to separate two orthogonally polarized microwave signal paths. [ 1 ]
Most hydrographic operations use a 200 kHz transducer, which is suitable for inshore work up to 100 metres in depth. Deeper water requires a lower frequency transducer as the acoustic signal of lower frequencies is less susceptible to attenuation in the water column. Commonly used frequencies for deep water sounding are 33 kHz and 24 kHz.
The transducers typically use piezoelectric transducers [3] or capacitive transducers to generate or receive ultrasound. [4] Piezoelectric crystals are able to change their sizes and shapes in response to voltage being applied. [3] On the other hand, capacitive transducers use electrostatic fields between a conductive diaphragm and a backing plate.
Vertical transom and stern of a modern cargo ship. In some boats and ships, a transom is the aft transverse surface of the hull that forms the stern of a vessel. Historically, they are a development from the canoe stern (or "double-ender") wherein which both bow and stern are pointed. Transoms add both strength and width to the stern.
Spirit Airlines said Monday it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after struggling with losses, growing debt and a failed merger during the post-pandemic travel lull.
Transom may refer to: Transom (architecture), a bar of wood or stone across the top of a door or window, or the window above such a bar; Transom (nautical), that part of the stern of a vessel where the two sides of its hull meet; Operation Transom, a World War II bombing raid on Surabaya in Java; Transom knot, a simple lashing knot
Pirani probe, opened. The Pirani gauge is a robust thermal conductivity gauge used for the measurement of the pressures in vacuum systems. [1] It was invented in 1906 by Marcello Pirani.
