  • Publication number: 20210123038
    Abstract: An operating point for control of an acoustic transducer can drift during operation and be compensated. A model for the transducer and/or environment frequency response is provided and used to compensate feedback from the transducer to determine an adjustment for the operating point. The model can be recalibrated during operation.

  • Publication number: 20200324225
    Abstract: An RF driver provides power to an acoustic transducer, which can be implemented as a piezoelectric element, which presents a reactive load. The driver can be a linear amplifier or a combination of a DC-DC converter and DC-AC inverter. A controller implements a control technique for efficient transducer operation. The control technique can locate a frequency for operation that is at a reactance minimum or maximum for the transducer to provide efficient operation of that transducer. An implementation of the controller can be provided in modular hardware.
