1.5-d Ultrasound Transducer Array Charlacterization
The objective of this work was twofold. The first was to investigate theoretically and cxperimentally the acoustical and electrical parameters of 1.5-D ultrasound transducer arrays for 3-D imaging applications. Modeling and simulations of arrays of various geomctry, center frequencies, and materials were performed, analyzed and optimized. The optimization criteria was the best achievable latera...
متن کاملDesign of a High Frequency Equal Width Annular Array Transducer for Medical Imaging
This work investigates a strongly-focused annular array for high frequency ultrasonic applications, offering improved resolution without increasing the operating frequency, potentially reducing the complexity of manufacture. However, the conventional geometry, specifically the Equal Area array exhibits a problem with high sidelobes. A method based on geometric change is developed to control the...
متن کاملDesign of a Novel High Frequency Ultrasound Annular Array
The design of a novel 50MHz 7-elment annular array is described. Equal-width electrodes are deposited on the rear face of piezoelectric layer to form a kerfless array, instead of mechanical cutting. Compared with equal-area designs, much better performance is achieved by the novel design. The cross talk is down to -20dB, the -6dB bandwidth and insertion loss are 41% and 18dB, respectively. The ...
متن کاملA Flexible Ultrasound Transducer Array with Micro-Machined Bulk PZT
This paper proposes a novel flexible piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasound transducer, which is based on PZT and a polyimide substrate. The transducer is made on the polyimide substrate and packaged with medical polydimethylsiloxane. Instead of etching the PZT ceramic, this paper proposes a method of putting diced PZT blocks into holes on the polyimide which are pre-etched. The device works i...
متن کاملPower amplifier for ultrasonic transducer excitation
Design of the power amplifier for ultrasonic transducer excitation is presented. We assumed that the amplifier output impedance will be significantly lower than the transducer input impedance. Therefore we suggest to used the transformer as voltage step-up and impedance matching element. The transformer influence on the ultrasonic transducer bandwidth and the power transfer efficiency are analy...
