| Abstract | Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) promise high transducer performance for several ultrasound applications. When making a focused ultrasound image with a 90 degree image sector we need a large number of individual elements. In off-axis beam steering neighbor elements operate at different phase. This leads to unwanted acoustic effects caused by the interaction with the fluid medium outside the array. We see high-Q resonances close to the center frequency of the array at off-axis angles, which we want to reduce. The present paper gives one approach to this. The introduction of a double periodicity, with a larger distance between elements than between CMUTs within an element is investigated. Simulations show that the resonances at frequencies closest to the center frequency are reduced, while they are increased at lower frequencies. The lowermost resonances are also shifted down in frequency by 1.5-2.5% of the center frequency. An added lossy top layer with thicknesses from 10 mum to 30 mum reduces the unwanted effects to an acceptable level, but increases the center frequency of the array. The combination of added element kerf and a lossy layer result in responses with 80-100% bandwidth and less than 1.5 dB insertion loss at 0 degrees steering angle. Reoptimizing the design might increase the bandwidth. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
