  • Apparatus for generating an acoustic signal
    Patent number: 7251195
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating an acoustic signal which has a dielectric substrate having opposed first and second sides. A pair of electrodes are mounted on the first surface of the substrate so that the electrodes are spaced apart from each other. A high voltage power source is electrically connected to the electrodes to produce a high voltage electric potential between the electrodes and this high voltage electric potential is less than a level sufficient to create a surface arc discharge along the first surface of the dielectric substrate. An electrical conductor strip is mounted to the second side of the substrate.
