Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0369127A2] A compound ultrasonic sonar, which operates as a lambda /2 thickness-mode transducer, having a piezoelectric vibrator body, in which it is provided that there is applied to the surface, facing a mounting area, of the vibrator body (K) of thickness DK a matching layer (A) of thickness DA made of a material that in relation to the piezoceramic material of the vibrator body (K) has a low product of thickness and modulus of elasticity E, and that the thickness DA of the matching layer (A) is matched to the thickness DK of the vibrator body (K) so that a virtually complete reflection of the ultrasonic component, which is emitted in the direction of the mounting surface, takes place at the mounting surface. <IMAGE>
