Selection of Protector Parameters for Right Bidirectional Transducers

The paper compares experimental and calculated pulse shapes and spectra of signals for bidirectional right transducers with radically different protectors, namely, those from epoxy glue with a filler and ceramic. The new data support the previously made conclusion (from calculated parameters of emitted pulses) that in protectors from composite materials (with low propagation velocities of longitudinal elastic waves) signal spectra can have several pronounced peaks, and their waveforms can exhibit beats (oscillating amplitude modulation).
