The approximate relations shown in Figure (6) above, can be used to assist in<br />

transducer selection. For example, if a -14 dB wave<strong>for</strong>m duration of one<br />

microsecond is needed, what frequency transducer should be selected?<br />

From the graph, a bandwidth of approximately 1 to 1.2 MHz corresponds<br />

to approximately 1 microsecond -14 dB wave<strong>for</strong>m duration. Assuming a<br />

nominal 50% fractional bandwidth transducer, this calculates to a nominal<br />

center frequency of 2 to 2.4 MHz. There<strong>for</strong>e, a transducer of 2.25 MHz or<br />

3.5 MHz may be applicable.<br />
