Abstract: A backing block (10) for an ultrasonic array transducer comprises a flex circuit embedded in a body of acoustic backing material, with conductive traces on the flex circuit (20) terminating at the surface (12) of the body (10) at which an array transducer is mounted and extending out from the rear (14) of the body (10) for connection to electrical circuitry. The array transducer is formed of a composite material in which the pattern of the composite material is oriented at an oblique angle to the kerfs of the transducer.
