| Summary: | A Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducer (cMUT) is presented. It is a new type of
transducer that can be used to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals in medical scanners and a variety of
other applications. The behavior of cMUT is investigated based on a proposed model of an equivalent
circuit by which the characteristics are predicted. The simulation is carried out using microwave office
simulator. The various elements of equivalent circuit and the signals produced by the cMUT are discussed
and the results are shown in the following sections. |
