Testing Oscilloscope

August 2nd, 2011

Can I test a transducer by just hooking it up to a Function Generator?

and aiming it at another one connected to an oscilloscope?
Do I have to worry about it being a receiver or transmitter? or can one do both functions?
I forgot to mention.. it’s an ultrasonic transducer.

Most transducers will act as either receiver or transmitter, but the efficiency may not be the same depending on design. Piezo transducers will work both ways.

If you mean to test to see if it works, yes you can do that. If you want to test performance that will require special conditions (anechoic chamber, calibrated microphones, etc.)
