Abstract

Acoustic wave transducer comprising a sensitive element subjected on one face to the pressure variations of an external medium and on the other face to the pressure prevailing in an inner cavity of the body of the transducer, associated with automatic regulation means whereby said cavity communicates either with the external medium or with a source of fluid at a pressure exceeding that of the external medium, depending on the pressure level in said cavity as compared to that of the external medium.
