Abstract

A transducer includes a base, a horn, and a central element. The horn includes a first end coupled to the base and a second end extending from the base and having a perimeter that defines a substantially planar face of the transducer, the horn defining a horn length along a horn surface between the first end and the second end of the horn. The central element includes a first end coupled to the base and a second end extending from the base along a longitudinal axis of the horn, the central element defining a central element length along a central element surface between the first end and the second end of the central element, the central element length being substantially equal to the horn length.
