摘要:
An acoustic transducer is disclosed including: a fixed perforated member; a freely movable diaphragm spaced from the perforated member; a support ring in the perforated member maintaining the proper spacing between the diaphragm and the perforated member near the perimeter; means of suspension allowing the diaphragm to rest freely on the support ring and yet mechanically decouples the diaphragm from the perforated member; means of applying an electrical field in the space between the perforated member and the diaphragm; means of detecting the change of electrical capacitance between the perforated member and the diaphragm when the diaphragm moves in response to an incident acoustic sound pressure wave.
摘要:
A wide frequency band micromachined microphone including a plurality of micromachined cells of the type including electrodes carried by a membrane supported above a common electrode with conductive lines interconnecting the electrodes is described. A method of operating a microphone array is also described.
摘要:
There is described a cMUT array with transducer elements which include a plurality of cells with membranes formed on one surface of a wafer. Voltages applied between said spaced electrodes drive said membranes. The voltages applied to said electrodes are applied from the opposite surface of the wafer through the wafer and through vias formed in the wafer.
摘要:
There is described a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer array which is configured to minimize the excitation and propagation of plate waves traveling in the substrate and ultrasonic waves propagating at the interface between the array surface and the immersion fluid.
