| Abstract | Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs) are becoming increasingly important as a future technology in imaging arrays, and are being proposed for applications such as biomedical ultrasound and high frequency sonar. This paper will present the results of a wide-ranging investigation into the nature and extent of mechanical cross-coupling in sealed cMUT arrays. In particular, the work has characterised the operation of small sealed multi-cavity devices specifically designed for immersion-based applications. An extensive modelling program has been undertaken using finite element via the PZFlex finite element code, in an attempt to understand the precise nature of cross-coupling within a single transducer element, comprising multiple sealed cMUT cavities. The results show that there is evidence of cross coupled signals propagated through the medium in the small sealed device, which increases under immersion applications. An additional waterproofing layer is then added to the cell for immersion purposes. The performance of the devices is compared for coatings including Parylene C and PDMS. The influence of this layer has been analysed theoretically, with the objective to minimise the influence on cMUT operation. The work is then extended to show experimental characterisation of such cMUT devices, configured in the form of 2D arrays. The cross-coupling present in the different array configurations is measured using a Polytec laser vibrometer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
