ABSTRACT:
A multilayered transducer assembly and the method of fabricating a multilayered transducer assembly using commercially available sheets of piezoelectric material and depositing electrodes thereon. The top and bottom surfaces of each layer have a major and a minor electrode formed thereon. The layers are stacked together so that the minority electrode formed on one layer is in contact with a minority layer formed on an adjacent layer and a majority layer formed on a surface is in contact with a majority electrode formed on an adjacent layer.
