Abstract
A housing for an ultrasonic transducer for detecting an object in the surroundings of a vehicle includes a circumferential side wall, which defines a main axis of the housing; and a bottom wall, which has a central receptacle for supporting a transducer element and at least one modulator area. The modulator area extends in a plane of longitudinal section, which contains the main axis, radially from the receptacle to a transition of the bottom wall into the side wall. A thickness of the bottom wall decreases radially outward over the entire modulator area. An inner side of the bottom wall in the modulator area has at least two different angles of inclination.
