| Abstract |
The method of using sound signals for underwater detection is called SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) and consists of a sound source called SONAR Stave, a matching transformer, H-bridge inverter, LC filter, and battery. In addition, recently, studies using multiple SONAR Staves have been conducted to increase the detection distance and expand the detection direction. However, the use of multiple SONAR staves causes an increase in power consumption, which in turn increases the volume of inverters and filters. Therefore, recent research has conducted to reduce the volume of parts that consist of the SONAR system in order to solve this problem. However, there is currently no research conducted on suitable operating algorithms for power converters with reduced volume. Therefore, in this study, we propose an algorithm for the configuration of leg minimized inverter, which can generate the same output as the conventional setup. Also we experimentally verified this proposed algorithm. |
