ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCERS WITH PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL EMBEDDED IN BACKING

摘要

A system and downhole tool comprising an ultrasonic transducer with a piezoelectric material embedded in a backing and a method of determining a parameter using the ultrasonic transducer, A self-noise of the transducer can be reduced by the piezoelectric material being at least partially embedded in the backing. The ultrasonic transducer can include an encapsulating material that encapsulates the backing.
