AB  - A partitioned electrode in an electrostatic transducer can present among others a possibility for making the transducer with the direct D/A conversion. Nevertheless, partitioned electrodes, the sizes of which are proportional to powers of 2 or terms of other convenient series, do not have the corresponding force action on the membrane. The reason is the membrane does not vibrate in a piston-like mode and electrode parts close to the membrane periphery do not excite membrane vibrations in the same way as the elements near the center. The aim of this work is to suggest the way of equalization of force contributions from different partitioned electrodes by varying their sizes. Principles presented here can also be used for other membrane-electrode arrangements.
