    Abstract: A polarizing DC voltage is generated at the capacitance of an ultrasonic transducer and then short circuited by a parallelly arranged electronic switch controlled by the command signal frequency to be radiated. A direct current stored in an inductance during the shorting phase is supplied by way of a decoupling diode to the electrodes to the electrostatic transducer upon opening of the switch thereby generating a polarizing DC voltage for the transducer which is regenerated periodically. For achieving additional energy recuperation, a booster capacitor is disposed in series with the inductance and a booster diode is connected in parallel with the booster capacitor and a portion of the inductance.
