ABSTRACT:
An acoustic transducer is constructed as a stacked configuration of multiyer transducer elements separated from one another by an electrical insulating material. Each multi-layer transducer element has a layer of acoustically transparent electro-acoustic transducer material having opposing planar surfaces with electrically conductive material deposited thereon. For each multi-layer transducer element, the electrically conductive material is formed into parallel strips electrically isolated from one another on at least one of each element's opposing planar surfaces. The parallel strips associated with each multi-layer transducer element have a unique angular orientation.
