| description | The invention relates to an ultrasound probe for use especially in medical diagnostics using ultrasonography. Said probe comprises an ultrasound sensor configured to generate an ultrasound send signal as a reaction to an electrical impulse and to receiving a receive signal reflected on an observation medium. Said ultrasound sensor is held in a supporting device and fitted with coupling and transmission devices for sending the transmission signal into the observation medium. Said transmission signal is a multifrequency signal comprising at least two individual signals which are separate from each other in the frequency range. Said probe also comprises means to evaluate the reflected receive signal in relation to the individual signals. The ultrasound sensor has a single crystal for generating signals, which crystal is simultaneously and in a synchronized manner impinged upon by the multifrequency signal with several carrier frequencies in the proximity of its resonance frequency. On a back surface facing away from the observation medium, the single crystal has an adaptation element made of metal or glass which serves to influence the band width and/or resonance frequency in a predeterminable manner. |
