Abstract
An ultrasonic transducer having a transducer element, a housing, a coupling element with a front and a back, wherein the back of the coupling element is acoustically coupled to the top of the transducer element in order to couple the ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer element out to the environment in a transmit mode or in order to pass the ultrasonic waves received from the environment by the coupling element on to the transducer element in a receive mode. The transducer element and the coupling element are arranged in the housing. A first electrode is connected to a contact area formed on the bottom of the transducer element. The transducer element is arranged in a shielding device made of a metallically conductive material, and the opening of the shielding device is covered by a metallic, conductive screen so that the shielding device and the screen form a Faraday cage.
