  • BIDIMENSIONAL ULTRASONIC ARRAY FOR VOLUMETRIC IMAGING
    Publication number: 20100137718
    Abstract: Ultrasound transducer comprising an array of electro-acoustic micro-cells, a first and a second group of transducer elements arranged substantially along two directions (x, y), each element being defined by a group of micro-cells of the array, at least part of the micro-cells of each group being electrically interconnected by a first connection pattern having shape with main orientation along one of the two directions (x, y), characterized in that each group of micro-cells defining each element comprises micro-cells interconnected by further connection pattern or patterns having shape with main orientation along the other of the two directions (y, x).

  • Microfabricated capacitive ultrasonic transducer for high frequency applications
    Patent number: 7477572
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-acoustic transducer, particularly an ultrasonic transducer, comprising a plurality of electrostatic micro-cells of the cMUT type. The electrostatic micro-cells are arranged in homogeneous groups of micro-cells having the same geometrical characteristics. The micro-cells of each group have geometries different from the geometry of the micro-cells of the other group or groups.
