Abstract

In a piezoelectric microphone or hydrophone, the elastic structure which reacts directly to the acoustic pressure is formed of piezoelectric polymer. The electroacoustic transducer according to the invention makes use of an elastic structure in the form of a rim clamped plate having at least one incurvation and covered on at least one of its two faces with electrodes connected to an impedance-matching circuit.
