Abstract
A transducer assembly for a proximity sensor which comprises an elongated polymer piezoelectric film (16). The film is supported as an elongated series of arcuate segments which are curved in the same direction and have the same radius of curvature. Electrodes (18) on both sides of the piezoelectric film form opposed pairs, each pair being associated with a respective arcuate segment. The electrodes are utilized for applying a varying electric field across the thickness of the film to cause an ultrasonic acoustic wave to be radiated from the film.
