Abstract
An assembly and method for assembling a tuning transformer () and printed circuit board (PCB) () to a transducer () to produce a tuned ultrasound transducer (). The tuned ultrasound transducer allows a transducer to be made with some degree of inconsistency in its impedance magnitude and phase, but each transducer, when configured and coupled to a tuning transformer assembly, produces a signal that is substantially homogeneous.
