F15a - 100-450 kHz High-Sensitivity Flat Frequency Response AE Sensor

The F-series sensors are designed to incorporate the latest advances in materials and transducer design principles. These sensors unlike the resonant sensors (R-series) have a very high sensitivity and flat response in the bandwidth of operation. The F15A is a wideband sensor with a flat frequency response over the range of 100-450 kHz. This sensor is an ideal candidate for applications requiring high bandwidth for frequency analysis of the AE signals for noise discrimination and source identification. This sensor features a rugged steel construction and an SMA connector exiting from the side of the sensor.
