Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0378021A1] The signal receiver is provided with a system which automatically compensates for any variations in the static pressure in the environment in which it is placed. <??>It consists of one or two units each consisting of a sensitive piezoelectric element (1) pressed against one face of a flexible plate (6). The other face of the plate is shielded from the variations in the dynamic pressure to be measured by a material (10) which absorbs the vibrations but is flexible enough to transmit any variation in the ambient static pressure. This material (10), which may be a porous foam or a fibrous substance impregnated with fluid, fills a tubular sleeve (8) provided with apertures (11). <??>Application, for example, to the production of hydrophones which can be used over a large range of depths under water. <IMAGE>
