In the last decade, there has been an outstanding improvement in the computer aided design tools for VLSI circuits regarding solution times and the circuit complexity. This study proposes formulating the acoustic field ...
An equivalent circuit for collapse operation mode of CMUTs
(IEEE, 2010)
Collapse mode of operation of the capacitive mi-cromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) was shown to be a very effective way for achieving high output pressures. However, no accurate model exists for understanding the ...
Wafer bonded capacitive micromachined underwater transducers
