  • Patent number: 11534796
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer includes a carrier with a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other, a piezoceramic element attached on the first surface of the carrier, a first acoustic matching layer with a third surface and a fourth surface which are opposite to each other, the third surface is attached on the second surface of the carrier, wherein the first acoustic matching layer includes a mesh with openings, and the thickness of first acoustic matching layer is smaller than ¼ wavelength of an ultrasonic wave emitted by the piezoceramic element in the first acoustic matching layer in an operating frequency, and a total area of the openings of mesh is larger than 30% area of the third surface of first acoustic matching layer, and a second acoustic matching layer disposed on the fourth surface of the first acoustic matching layer.
