ABSTRACT

Piezoelectric transducers are significant elements of many broadband ultrasonic systems, either pulse-echo or through-transmission, used for imaging and detection purposes. In ultrasonic broadband applications such as medical imaging, or non-destructive testing, piezoelectric transducers should generate/receive ultrasonic signals with good efficiency over a large frequency range. This implies the use of piezoelectric transducers with high sensitivity, broad bandwidth and short-duration impulse responses. High sensitivity provides large signal amplitudes which determine a good dynamic range for the system and the short duration of the received ultra-sonic signal provides a good axial resolution. This paper presents the simulation of linear array transducers for ultrasonic measurements.
