[origin: US5659220A] PCT No. PCT/EP93/02039 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 13, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 13, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 29, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/05004 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 3, 1994For industrial applications, there is a need for compact ultrasonic transducers which at the same time have a radiation characteristic with small side lobes. This requirement is met by an ultrasonic transducer of conventional design and having a piezoelectric transducer element (1) which is bonded over its main surface (7) to a disk-shaped lambda /4 matching element (2), it being the case according to the invention that the circumferential surface (3) of the lambda /4 matching element is profiled with a notch (4) of suitable depth (5).
