40Ultrasonic Transducer

resistor across thetransducer and peaks at the anti-resonant frequency. The Model 18A/40 is a small, very inexpensive ultrasonic transducer that operates in the40 kHz frequency region, and can be used in applications where larger variations in electroacoustic performance from unit to unit are acceptable. The transducer is capable of operating as both a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitting response peaks at the resonant frequency. The receiving response is specified with a 3.9 k
