ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCER WITH NON-CIRCULAR VOICE COIL

摘要

Embodiments of an electromechanical transducer are presented. The electromechanical transducer includes a plurality of magnets and a substrate having a patterned conductive coil of at least one turn. The plurality of magnets are arranged such that a continuous magnetic flux path passes through each of the plurality of magnets. The substrate is located within an airgap between a given magnet of the plurality of magnets and an adjacent magnet of the plurality of magnets. The continuous magnetic flux path passes through at least a portion of the patterned conductive coil due to the location of the substrate within the airgap.
