Abstract

A method includes determining, for a piezoelectric cantilever-type transducer of a distributed mode loudspeaker adapted to cause vibration of a load, a subset of frequencies from a range of frequencies at which to output vibrations, in which the transducer includes two or more electrode pairs positioned along a length of the transducer and each electrode pair including a first electrode on a first side of a piezoelectric layer of the transducer and a second electrode on a second side of the piezoelectric layer of the transducer that is opposite to the first side; selecting, for the subset of frequencies, a respective input voltage for each of the two or more electrode pairs based on a relative position of each pair on the transducer; and applying the respective input voltage to each of the two or more electrode pairs to cause the transducer to generate a vibrational force.
