Acoustic Delay Line Info

An electrical signal is converted into an acoustic wave (vibration) using a transducer, often piezoelectric.

The operation of an acoustic delay line follows a three-step cycle: acoustic delay line

At the other end, a second transducer senses the mechanical vibration and converts it back into an electrical signal. Historical and Modern Applications An electrical signal is converted into an acoustic

The vibration travels through a medium—such as a liquid (mercury), solid (silicon, quartz), or gas (air)—at the speed of sound for that material. acoustic delay line
