摘要: Using piston radiator and plate capacitance theory capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUT) membrane cells can be described by one-dimensional (1-D) model parameters. This paper describes in detail a new method, which derives a 1-D model for CMUT arrays from finite-element methods (FEM) simulations. A few static and harmonic FEM analyses of a single CMUT membrane cell are sufficient to derive the mechanical and electrical parameters of an equivalent piston as the moving part of the cell area. For an array …
