ABSTRACT:
A transducer made up of a plurality of piezoceramic tubes arranged in end to end relationship with elastomeric material between tubes. The tubes are poled and driven axially; however, the hoop mode of operation is utilized to obtain a fan-shaped beam extremely narrow in one direction and extremely broad in the direction perpendicular thereto. A suitable backing arrangement is provided for the transducer when mounted on a support body to prevent degradation of the beam pattern.
