Electrostatic Transducers for Ultrasonics

Authors: Van Houten, John J.

AES Convention 14 · Paper 262 · October 1962

Abstract

The advantages of electrostatic type transducers for wide range operation are evident when compared with piezoelectric and magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices. Electrostatic transducers have been designed and fabricated for frequencies of 5000 cps to 200 kc. An omnidirectional transducer consisting of a one-foot hemispherical backplate and mylar diaphragm will be described.
