Thermoacoustic Sensor
Measuring unit with sensor and measuring amplifier for determining the local average intensity of ultrasonic waves,Delivery includes connection cables for a voltmeter (currently not available)
The thermoacoustic sensor is a very simple and cheap measuring method for determining the local average intensity of ultrasonic waves. The sensor works based on the transformation of sound energy into heat within a very small cylindrical absorber. The heating is proportional to the irradiated intensity and is transformed into a voltage signal by means of a thermocouple and a measuring amplifier. The voltage signal can be registered using a simple voltmeter or recorded via a USB interface with the PC. For the compensation of the ambient temperature the measuring amplifier has a zero balancing. The set is supplied including the connection cables for a voltmeter.The thermoacoustic sensor has a high sensitivity and a high local resolution power, due to the very small active area, so that the intensity distribution of sound fields can also be measured.
