Numerical modelling for the optimization of multi-element, capacitive, ultrasonic, air-coupled transducer
This paper presents an analytical method to predict the acoustic pressure field produced in the air by concentric, annular sources. The sources correspond to a multi-element, ultrasonic, air-coupled array, which should be used further for non-destructive testing (NDT) purposes. After validation of the model based on the comparison of the predicted acoustic pressure with experimental results, a ...
متن کاملNew Designs of Focussed Air-coupled Ultrasonic Transducer
The paper describes new developments in air-coupled ultrasonic transducers that can be used to focus energy in air. All transducers to be described are based on a capacitive design, using a rigid backplate and a thin polymer membrane. There are three approaches that can be used to achieve focussing, all of which are described: focussing with a mirror, using curved back-plates, and linear phased...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Novel Transparent Flexible Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer
This paper presents the world's first transparent flexible capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) that was fabricated through a roll-lamination technique. This polymer-based CMUT has advantages of transparency, flexibility, and non-contacting detection which provide unique functions in display panel applications. Comprising an indium tin oxide-polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET)...
متن کاملModeling and simulation of Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT)
This work presents the modeling and analysis of CMUT using the MEMS simulation software, Coventorware. A rectangular membrane CMUT of area 40μm X 20μm with 0.2μm thickness of silicon nitride as the movable membrane was designed. To reduce the parasitic capacitance, silicon substrate with gold was used as the fixed bottom electrode, and the combination of aluminium and chromium were used as top ...
متن کاملCapacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer Technology for Medical Ultrasound Imaging
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) technology has been recognized as an attractive alternative to the more traditional piezoelectric transducer technology in medical ultrasound imaging for several years now. There are mainly two reasons for the interest in this technology: Micromachining is derived from the integrated circuit technology and therefore shares the well-known adv...
