Curvature Determination Method for Diverging Acoustic Lens of Underwater Acoustic Transducer by Minze Li, Mingzhen Xin, Fanlin Yang, Yu Luo, Jinpeng Liu, Niuniu Wu

“…To increase the detection range of an underwater acoustic transducer in a specific marine environment, a curvature-determining method for the diverging acoustic lens of an underwater acoustic transducer is proposed based on the acoustic ray tracing theory. The relationship equation between the original directivity indicators of the underwater acoustic transducer and the emergence angle in the specific environment is constructed, and the slope of the acoustic lens at different positions of the underwater acoustic transducer is obtained by a progressive solution. …”
