  • Ultrasonic sensor for object and movement detection
    Publication number: 20150377837
    Abstract: We provide arrays of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) elements having large fractional bandwidth and configured such that each array element operates both to transmit and to receive. Large fractional bandwidth is provided by venting the CMUT cavity, which provides an additional source of damping for the resonant CMUT.
