Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to signal attenuation for acoustic logging tools. An acoustic logging tool includes acoustic transducers. Each acoustic transducer includes a body, a piezoelectric element disposed on a first end of the body to receive or transmit at least one signal, and a wedge-cut disposed on an opposite end of the body. The wedge-cut defines a sloped portion operable to attenuate signals.
