Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0678853A2] The transducer is used as an electroacoustic flexure transducer, with a membrane of a piezoelectrically inactive material, coupled to a piezoelectric plate, arranged centrally on the inside face of the membrane. The opposing radiating surface of the membrane has at least one circular segment recess (7, 8) as its peripheral edge. Pref the membrane is cap shaped with a cylindrical sidewall incorporating a peripheral groove (2) and a radiating front face with a pair of circular segment recesses at diametrically opposite points, with a depth which is sufficient to reach the level of the peripheral groove. <IMAGE>
