integrated system of reception of acoustic waves of great length.

摘要

A reception system including a central core (5) formed of a traction cable (6) and a harness (7) of conducting wires. A fibrous or porous acoustic screen (8) made, for example, from a fibrous or porous material is formed around the core. Sensitive elements are arranged outside this screen, with discontinuous inner electrodes (9) connected to the different wires of the central harness (7), and a common outer electrode (13). A pipe made of a piezoelectric material (12) is formed therebetween. The whole is covered with a protective sheath (2). With such a multi-layered sensitive structure, the manufacturing process of the reception system can be simplified.
