Issue Date: | 1-May-2009 | Source: | Journal of applied physics, 1 May, 2009, v. 105, no. 9, 094908, p. 1-5 | Abstract: | Lead magnesium niobate–lead titanate single crystal 0.72Pb(Mg[sub ⅓]Nb[sub ⅔])O₃−0.28PbTiO₃(abbreviated as PMN-PT) was used to fabricate high performance ultrasonic phased-array transducer as it exhibited excellent piezoelectric properties. In this paper, we focus on the design and fabrication of a low-loss and wide-band transducer for medical imaging applications. A KLM model based simulation software PiezoCAD was used for acoustic design of the transducer including the front-face matching and backing. The calculated results show that the −6 dB transducer bandwidth can be improved significantly by using double λ/8 matching layers and hard backing. A 4.0 MHz PMN-PT transducer array (with 16 elements) was fabricated and tested in a pulse-echo arrangement. A −6 dB bandwidth of 110% and two-way insertion loss of −46.5 dB were achieved. | Keywords: | Biomedical ultrasonics Lead compounds Piezoelectric transducers Ultrasonic transducer arrays |
