Definitions

  • Thin guided waveform delay lines of this invention feature a maximum thickness in the order of two A wavelengths with full width transducers coextensive with the delay line thickness providing nondispersive width-shear mode propagation characteristics.
  • a low cost mass production method of making a substantially identical series of such delay lines including steps of forming a composite preshaped block of acoustically conductive material with signal transducers affixed thereto and then cutting the composite block with its signal transducers into a plurality of substantially identical delay line segments.
  • Completed delay line segments each can be housed in a casing having associated electrical circuit components of each delay line segment.
  • This invention generally relates to delay lines and particularly concerns improved ultrasonic delay lines and a method of making them.
  • a principal object of this invention is to provide an improved method of very precisely making thin delay lines of a type utilizing two major reflecting surfaces for guided wave propagation in a low cost process featuring minimal tolerance requirements and significant labor saving techniques.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide improved delay lines particularly suited to be made by the above method for nondispersive width-shear mode propagation of symmetrical shear waves.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide such improved delay lines having full width transducer apertures to ensure guided wave propagation with a minimum of distortion and spurious content while at the same time effecting signal transmission with minimal transmission losses.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide an improved delay line assembly having a rugged, sealed construction capable of furnishing reliable operation over an extended period of time under adverse environmental conditions.
  • the invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others and the article possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements, which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a strip delay line
  • FIG. 2 is an end view ofthe line of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the line of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is an isometric view of a block of delay material suited to be sliced into individual delay lines
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view, partly broken away and partly in section, showing a preferred embodiment of a delay line assembly constructed in accordance with this invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating successive stcps of a manufacturing process according to this invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a delay line It) comprising a pair of transducers 12, I4 affixed to ultrasonic signal input and output facets 16, I8 ofa solid plate 20.
  • the plate 20 is formed of acoustically suitable material conductive of ultrasonic waves such as quartz, alloys such as Invar, etc.
  • the transducers I2, 14 are preferably formed of piezoelectric crystalline or polycrystalline material.
  • the delay line provides a signal transmission delay to an electrical signal applied to the transducer 12, which will be understood to be an input transducer arranged for connection to a suitable signal source, not shown.
  • Ultrasonic energy entering the input facet 16 traverses the plate along a path, generally shown by line 21, e.g., in FIG. 3, to the output facet 18 of the plate 20.
  • the ultrasonic energy is then impressed upon the output transducer 14 which reconverts ultrasonic energy into electrical pulses, providing a delayed signal to a suitable output circuit, not shown, connected to the output transducer 14.
  • shear waves While ultrasonic energy can be propagated in a delay medium by different types of elastic waves, shear waves will be considered for purposes of this invention. Shear waves are characterized by particle motion normal to the direction of wave propagation to effect a shear stress in the material. In addition, shear waves can be polarized and have a suitably low velocity to provide a required delay in a given structure.
  • transducers 12, 14 are poled parallel to the width dimension of the plate 20 for propagating symmetrical shear waves or so-called SH waves such that vibratory motion of the particles is normal to the direction of wave propagation (FIG. I) and parallel to major faces 22, 24 of the delay medium. I.e., the direction of the particle motion is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis of the plate 20 and its minor faces 26, 28.
  • undesirable spurious rays may arise in various ways to produce a series of pulses at the output transducer 14 due to different delay paths taken by the rays. If the pulse duration is greater than the difference in the time delay between different paths, undesired pulse overlap may occur to distort the received signal. Just as beam spread and the resulting unwanted mode conversion may give rise to undesirable spurious signals, the latter may also result from reflections at the output transducer facet 18 providing multiple or triple travel signals with resultant delays which are multiples of the desired main delay. In addition, spurious signals may arise by ultrasonic energy escaping from the intended path through side lobes of the transducer radiation pattern and from inaccurate construction of the plate 20 or faults in the delay material.
  • conventional delay lines are commonly formed with a thickness greater than the acoustic beam or, as is well known, by avoiding reflection at one or both major faces 22, 24 by conventionally applying an absorbing coating to absorb such wave motion or by scattering the wave motion by deliberately roughening the faces, introducing yet another step into the normally time-consuming and expensive processes of making delay lines.
  • large blocks of material with large transducers significantly increase the cost, size and weight of the delay line, and dispersive modes are encountered. In dispersive modes, the phase velocity of each wave depends upon its own frequency and the wave form, as it travels, will change appreciably from that of the input pulse.
  • a waveguide form of delay medium is provided in accordance with this invention having nondispersive width-shear mode propagation characteristics.
  • delay line 10 is in a waveguide form of thin plate delay media having a maximum thickness of two '6 wavelength which can be readily manufactured with the use of normal techniques to effect a delay line having acceptable frequency dispersion.
  • a line less than a half wavelength thick is preferred since only the nondispersive mode would exist whereby the delay is insensitive to changes in frequency.
  • delay line I0 its major faces 22, 24 each in effect provide a mirror surface for concentrating all energy of the beam and guiding it continuously to the output transducer 14. Accordingly, side lobes of the transducer radiation pattern will strike the major faces 22, 24 at small angles, and the diverging and side lobe radiation will reach the output transducer 14 in substantially the same delay time as the rays passing parallel to the major faces 22, 24 such that the loss in signal transmission will be negligible.
  • any possibility of beam spread is minimized in the width dimension of the line 10 by providing a line width of several wavelengths.
  • the line 10 herein described is particularly suited for low frequency operation in the order of megacycles, over a temperature range of l5-55 C. and below, with a delay of about 64 microseconds and a delay time tolerance at 25 C. of about i 3 nanoseconds.
  • a block of acoustically conductive material is initially configurated and dimensioned in accordance with this invention to a preselected size and shape to provide precise angular and dimensional orientation between the transducer and reflecting facets, as determined by a desired signal delay.
  • a polyhedron 30 is shown suitably dimensioned to provide a multiplicity of thin plates of a so-called 3 X 4 pattern ensuring a folded path designated by lines 31 wherein the angles of incidence on reflective minor surfaces such as at 33 are beyond the critical angle for mode conversion.
  • another polyhedron 32 is shown for providing a suitable 2 X 5 pattern without danger of mode conversion. The method of making such delay lines will be described in connection with polyhedron 32.
  • Polyhedron 32 is provided with four mutually perpendicular side wall surfaces 34, 36, 38, 40 and a pair of converging end wall surfaces 42, 44 meeting at an apex or edge 45.
  • the end wall surfaces 42, 44 are preselected as input and output facets of the block 32 and meet at a 90 angle while extending respectively at 45 angles with respect to a flat bottom wall surface 46.
  • the block 32 is then cleaned in a well-known manner, e. g., with the use of alcohol and demineralized water.
  • a pair of signal transducer strips such as the one shown at 48 (48 in the polyhedron 30 shown in FIG. 4) are formed of suitable material such as piezoelectric crystalline or polycrystalline material and are carefully oriented in accordance with conventional techniques and appropriately dimensioned to fit onto the end wall surfaces 42, 44 of the block 32.
  • the transducer strips 48 are then bonded or otherwise affixed in any suitable manner to the end wall surfaces 42,44 of the block 32, for example by first plating one or both sides of the strips 48 with a pure metal foil or film such as at 50 to provide a thin metallic film between the block 32 and the transducer strips 48.
  • the above bonding method is set forth only by way of example and various other acceptable bonding methods may be used such as that described in US. Pat. No. 2,688,121 entitled Ultrasonic Delay Line and assigned to the assignee of this invention.
  • the composite block with its bonded transducer strips 48 may then be tested in a conventional manner to calculate its transmission time. Having determined a delay time measurement, the block as a whole may be adjusted to correct any minute deviations from a desired time delay, e.g., by precisely grinding the bottom wall surface 46 to reduce the size of the block along its major dimension and thereby reducing the effective length of the transmission path 51, shown by broken lines in FIG. 5.
  • the composite block 32 may be secured in a suitable fixture of a wafer sawing machine, not shown, and then cut along spaced parallel planes normal to a common axis of the block 32 shown at X-X.
  • a refined sawing operation can provide a multiple gang of blades (not shown) providing, e.g., approximately cuts in a single pass.
  • the cutting action determines in a single operation the size of each of a series of discrete delay line segments with its prepositioned transducers I12, 114 (112, 114' in the polyhedron 30 shown in FIG. 4) being coextensive with their mating transducer facets 116, 118 (116', 118' in the polyhedron 30) in the direction of the common axis X-X.
  • this method also assures that each individual delay line segment will be provided with interfaces automatically aligned in substantially identical relation to that of the others of the series of delay line segments.
  • the finished solid polygonal delay plates 120 thus effect a multiple internal reflection delay path between input and output transducers 112, 114 preformed on each individual delay plate 120.
  • a multiplicity of delay lines can be formed by performing the precision fabrication just once on a large block in a minimal number of steps and without requiring any additional steps of applying absorbing media to the delay lines or otherwise providing irregular faces thereon.
  • the composite structure is significantly easier to handle in obtaining close tolerances and critical dimensioning, while tending to promote increased uniformity, e.g., during the adjustment of the transmission delay time.
  • the predominant cost factor, that of skilled labor, is significantly reduced while greatly increased output is achieved, for precision transducer attachment need be performed just once for a multiplicity of delay lines by virtue of cutting up affixed transducers simultaneously with the delay medium.
  • a better major surface finish is required it is only necessary to grind, lap or polish the sliced surfaces in multiple laps.
  • suitable associated circuit components such as a pair of tuning coils 52 and 54
  • each coil having suitable electrical leads 56, S8 and 60, 62 connected to a pair of pin terminals 64, 66 and 68, 70, respectively.
  • the coils 52,54 with their respective leads and terminals are prepositioned in fixed relation within a case 72 formed of a suitable tough plastic which is resistant to warpage, extreme temperature changes, shock and moisture to provide a rugged and durable protective housing for each delay line 110.
  • the latter need only be inserted through an open end 74 of the case 72 to bring the input and output transducers 112, 114 into engagement with a spring-type contact, preferably provided, such as at 76, on each terminal.
  • the open end 74 of the case 72 through which the delay line 110 is inserted may then be sealed by a snap-in cover 78 which when secured additionally serves to maintain the delay line 110 in operative position.
  • the case if desired, may be shielded by a metallized finish and appropriate mounting pins, not shown, may also be provided to mount the case 72 to associated apparatus.
  • the preferred embodiment of the case 72 is shown with a pair of access openings 80, 82 aligned with screw slots 84, 86 on the tuning coils 52, 54 for effecting any desired final adjustment of each tuning coil over a desired inductance range although the uniformity of delay lines produced by this method normally permits use of a fixed or preadjusted coil.
  • finished delay line assemblies may be quickly and easily produced in accordance with the method of this invention to ensure close dimensioning and precision adjustment in a uniform high quality production operation while achieving increased output at significant cost savings.
