Ultrasound transducer array of elementary transducers arranged in a row e.g. for medical research - has elementary transducers connected to front and back terminals and connected to neighbouring transducers by piezo-ceramic connectors.

摘要

An ultra-sound transducer array including elementary transducers (2,26) arranged next to each other. These have a metallised front face (4) and a metallised back face (6) opposite the front face (4). The metallised faces (4,6) are connected to first and second electric contacts (5,7). Adjacent transducers (2,26) are connected on their back faces (6) via piezoceramic connector elements (8). ADVANTAGE - Can be manufactured to a high degree of accuracy and manufacturing time is short.
