Power Amplifier: SONAR, NDT, HIFU

BII's power amplifiers are designed to drive underwater and ultrasonic transducers from 100Hz to 10MHz: SONAR, NDT, HIFU and Ultrasonic Power Transducers. Linear, switch mode (Class D or Switching) and waterproof (IP68) power amplifiers are available. They can also be used to provide low and/or high electric field (with BII-6000 step-up transformer) for dielectric materials characterizations such as P/E or D/E hysteresis, dielectric constant and loss, and their field-level and frequency dependence (Measurement of ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials).
BII-5110 series switching amplifiers have valuable features of high power capability, low power consumption, high efficiency, wide bandwidth and small size for battery-powered acoustic instruments such as sonobuoy, underwater pinger, transponder, acoustic release, etc...
