First Claim
Patent Images
1. A shock wave source comprising:
- a coil carrier;
a coil disposed on said coil carrier;
a membrane overlying said coil on said coil carrier and separated from said coil in electrically insulating fashion, said coil being disposed between said coil carrier and said membrane and interacting with said membrane, upon being charged with a current, to generate shock waves; and
said coil carrier comprising a material which damps at least one of formation and propagation of waves in said coil carrier generated by said shock waves.
