Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electroacoustic underwater antenna according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • flank array, known, linear underwater antenna ( DE 38 34 669 A1 ) has arranged at a distance from the hull body transducer assembly with a plurality of in the mounting position of the underwater antenna along the hull horizontally lined up, spaced apart hydrophones and the shielding effect against the hull radiated sound in a sound incidence behind the hydrophones arranged insulation board on the spring Mass principle is designed and acts as a low-noise reflector in the lower frequency range.
  • the hydrophones are held on the insulation board via a clamp construction, and the insulation board is fixed with resilient elements to a bending wave absorbing damping layer which is connected to the hull.
  • the transducer assembly is mechanically protected by an enveloping body attached to the hull. Due to a streamlined structure, the enveloping body offers protection against flow noise at the same time.
  • the acoustic wave impedance of the envelope is approximately equal to that of the surrounding water, whereby the acoustic transmission loss and the reflection factor of the envelope for incident sound waves is low. If the enveloping body constructed as a layer composite, as this from the DE 36 42 747 C2 is known, also the radiation of noise, which is caused by bending waves due to structure-borne noise and turbulence, avoided by the enveloping body on the transducer assembly.
  • the invention has for its object to design a cost-effective underwater antenna with only a few individual components in particular for attachment to the hull of a submarine, in which the reflector carrying the electronic transducer assembly a sufficiently large distance from the antenna carrier, So from the hull, has, from this acoustically well decoupled and is largely resistant to shock load.
  • the electroacoustic underwater antenna according to the invention has the advantage that a large distance of the reflector and a good acoustic decoupling of the reflector from the antenna carrier is achieved by the two wings, each extending over the entire length of the reflector.
  • the required spring constant of the wings can be easily adjusted by shape and material thickness.
  • the impact energy of striking the reflector shock waves is transmitted over the wings distributed over the antenna carrier on the surface, whereby the antenna structure is shock resistant. Due to the different shapes of the two wings can be achieved with sufficient shock resistance of the antenna structure vertical alignment of the reflector on the hull of a submarine.
  • the rockers are arranged so that the U-openings in the two wings point away from each other.
  • the intermediate space between the upper and lower rocker is filled by a buoyant body which extends on the one hand to the antenna support and on the other hand ends at a distance in front of the reflector.
  • the buoyancy body which preferably consists of a rigid foam core enclosed by a potting compound, the underwater antenna is kept substantially neutral in weight under water.
