Cross-talk Response Analysis on a Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Matrix Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study of the cross-talk and its effects in the performance of a matrix array of piezoelectric elements is an important issue. This corresponds to the study of the cross mode of vibration of each one of the piezoelectric elements that form the ultrasonic array. The aim is to detect and measure the cross-talk that is generated for the cross mode of vibration. In order to accomplish this task, an array of 2x3 elements was designed and developed. This was constructed using 8 MHz piezoelectric ceramics. A number of configurations have been experimented, considering the excitation of an increasing number of elements, in order to detect and measure the propagation of wave interference. Initial results show the way cross-talk interferes the beam generated by the array, this causing attenuation of the main beam and other negative effects.
