Ultrasound transducer apparatus

摘要

An ultrasound transducer apparatus is disclosed for shaping the ultrasound coverage field per application requirement in both the radiating and receiving mode of operation. Wave coverage field is shaped by forming at least one cut at designated location on the housing wall. A cut on the housing wall of the transducer pot-shaped structural body results into the reduction of wave intensity, either radiating or receiving, toward that direction where the cut is located.
