Claim 9:
10. Composite-based piezoelectric subassembly for manufacturing a transducer assembly according to claim 2, the subassembly comprising a planar composite-based element having a piezoelectric central part with metal connections and a lateral part extending from the central part and comprising a resin material incorporating the metal connections to form a number of transducer elements along a first direction, so-called azimuth direction (A), having a sequence of resin/piezoelectric/resin materials along a second direction, so-called elevation direction (E), wherein the relation between area covered by the central part and area covered by the lateral part is a function of the aperture of the transducer assembly to be manufactured.
