Design of Planar Array Transducers Based on Connected 1–3 Piezoelectric Composites

To improve the transmission performance and preparation of a transducer array, two planar array transducers based on connected 1–3 piezoelectric composites as a matrix were designed. Each transducer contained 25 array elements with a gap of 1 mm between them. The length, width and height of each arr...
