This paper presents a complete PSpice model of an ultrasound single-element transducer,
including electrical and mechanical matching as well as the focusing lens. By using this …

A new method for the numerical computation of the pulse-echo behavior of ultrasound
transducers is presented. In this numerical scheme, the given physical problem is split into …

The goal of this work was to develop an extended ultrasound transducer model that would
optimize the trade-off between accuracy of the calculation and computational time. The …

In this paper we describe a new approach for the design of ultrasono-therapy transducers.
Usually, in this kind of transducer, a/spl lambda//2 front plate is inserted only in order to …

This paper describes the design of a highly integrated ultrasound sensor where the
piezoelectric ceramic transducer is used as the carrier for the driver electronics. Intended as …

Ultrasound has become an effective and practical tool for obtaining medical information from
within the human body without exposing the patient to X-rays. The emphasis of this paper is …

A tutorial presentation on the theory of reciprocal ultrasound systems is given, and a
complete set of modeling equations for one-dimensional multi-layer ultrasound transducers …

Ultrasound transducers for acoustic imaging are now standard tools for medical diagnostics
