Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer

Application ID: 106361


A capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) is a micro-scale receiver that converts ultrasound to electrical signal for high-resolution imaging application. This CMUT design has optimized force-displacement characteristics for increased transduction efficiency. Central to the improvement is the displacement uniformity factor which can be calculated using Frequency Domain, Prestressed Study. This particular design improves upon a well-established medical imaging technology based on piezoelectric transducers and promises miniaturization and higher resolution.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
