Abstract: | The problem of the excitation of a thin-walled spherical piezoemitter which generates nonsteady electric signals is examined with allowance for processes in a long cable used with the piezoemitter. An analytic method of solving the problem is developed on the basis of the Laplace time transform. Boundary conditions are satisfied in the space of the originals, allowing the problem to be reduced to a system of Volterra integral equations. Numerical results are presented. S. P.
