Abstract

An acoustic transducer includes a substrate element having a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The acoustic transducer also includes first and second piezoelectric elements coupled to the first side, and third and fourth piezoelectric elements coupled to the second side. The first piezoelectric element has a first polarity, and the second piezoelectric element has a second polarity different than the first polarity. The third piezoelectric element has a third polarity, and the fourth piezoelectric element has a fourth polarity different than the third polarity.
