Introduction
COMSOL with Acoustics Module is used to predict in-water electroacoustic performance and is compared with experimental data.
COMSOL is then used to calculate the complex drive coefficients used
to drive the transducer into the directional mode.

ID =-(down(Jdy_smppn))*z
Admittance is:
Y=1/Z
Z = Impedance
Y =I/V=abs(ID)+abs(IU)
Magnitude
G= real(ID)-real(IU)
Real Part
B= imag(ID)-imag(IU)
Imaginary Part
For V = 1
Capacitance is: B/
C= (imag(ID)-imag(IU))/(2*pi*freq)
