Abstract
A design procedure is described for acoustic transducer arrays suitable for focused acoustic imaging systems. The criteria governing the choice of the width of the individual elements of the array and for broadband matching are discussed. Experimental results on 2.5 MHz arrays are given and are in good agreement with theory.Keywords
