  • TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION IN A CMUT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140022865
    Abstract: CMUT devices are used in many applications e.g. for ultrasound imaging and pressure measurement. These devices operate by sensing a change in capacitance caused by deflection of a membrane (32) comprising one of a pair of electrodes in the device by ultrasound exposure of or pressure applied on, the membrane. The CMUT device may be susceptible to the effects of changing temperature.
