Three-dimensional modelling of micromachined-ultrasonic-transducer arrays operating in water.

Abstract:

:We report on the 3-D modelling of periodic arrays of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs) operating in fluid. Specific developments have been performed to model biperiodic transducer arrays and to take into account radiation into any stratified media at the front-side as well as the back-side of the device. The model is based on a periodic finite-element-analysis/boundary-element-method (FEA/BEM). It is applied to micromachined ultrasonic transducers (MUTs), based on silicon-nitride-circular-membrane arrays on a silicon substrate, and operating in water. The spectrum characteristics of MUTs excited in phase are investigated, showing that very-large-band emission is achievable as previously demonstrated by many authors. However, other contributions are also found, depending on the excitation conditions, that do not radiate in the fluid. These contributions are identified as guided modes that could generate significant cross-talk effects. The origin and the nature of these modes is analyzed to gain insight in the actual operation of MUTs.

  • A novel method for Estimating Time of Flight of ultrasonic echoes through short-time Fourier transforms.

    abstract::The accurate estimation of time of flight (TOF) of an ultrasonic signal is essential in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT). A novel method for TOF estimation based on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the time and frequency components of ultrasonic echoes are represented...
