Digital Compact
3.4 Function
3.4.1 Converter
The ultrasonic power supply produces high frequency electrical oscilla-
tions. These are transformed by a converter (transducer element) into
linear mechanical vibrations.

3.4.2 Booster
A booster (mechanical transformer element) is coupled to the con-
verter. It transforms the vibrations released by the converter and trans-
mits them to the horn. The magnitude of the peak-to-peak amplitude is
determined by the type of booster used for the application (please refer
to Fig. 3-5).
