Abstract:
An underwater sound source includes an acoustical driver, a controller of the acoustical driver, and a resonant tube acoustically coupled to the acoustical driver. The resonant tube has a pair of slotted portions, in which each slotted portion is disposed along the length of the resonant tube at a location corresponding to a node of a harmonic of the resonant tube. The sound system is configured to emit an output signal within a bandwidth defined by a dual resonance characteristic of the resonator tube. The sound source may also include a pair of coaxial tubular sleeves disposed around the resonant tube, each sleeve configured to slidably cover one of the slotted portions, and tune the resonance frequency of the tube over a wide range. At a high frequency end, when slots are uncovered, the frequency response of the resonant tube obtains a dual-resonant form.

Claim (Index 10):
The underwater sound source of  claim 8 , wherein the controller of the acoustical driver is configured to control an output frequency of the acoustical driver to a tube resonance frequency determined at least in part by a location of the first coaxial tubular sleeve and a location of the second coaxial tubular sleeve when the underwater sound source is configured to operate in the first acoustic mode.
