Abstract
An acoustic antenna includes an array of elementary submarine transducers, each elementary transducer including, between a counterweight and a horn, at least one ceramic. Each elementary transducer is mounted on a printed circuit so that the printed circuit is clamped between the ceramic and counterweight thereof. The printed circuit includes conductors for connection to electrodes of the respective ceramic for individual control of the elementary transducers. The weight of each element of the elementary transducer is set to minimize cross-talk between channels.
