Abstract
An electroacoustic apparatus is disclosed for providing beam steered and focused compressional or shear waves, using an interdigital generating grid operative with one surface of a piezoelectric delay line member. The generating transducer is provided with electrode elements having a variable spacing determined by the location of a receiving transducer on another surface of the delay line. The electrode elements are energized in a predetermined phase relationship by an input signal. The apparatus is suitable for use to process signals as a pulse compression or pulse expansion dispersive delay line.
