음향 변환기용 외부 회로를 구성할 때, 파워 앰프의 내부저항이 매우 작은 경우 정합 회로를 구성하기 보다는 부하측의 역률을 개선하는 것을 선호 한다. 기존 연구의 결과를 살펴 보면 광대역에서 최대 파워를 전달하게 하는 정합회로를 구하는 방법을 많이 연구되어 왔으나, 두 개의 공진점을 갖는 광대역 전기 음향 변화기에 적용할 만한 광대역 역률 개선용 튜닝 회로를 구성하는 방법은 논문화된 결과는 드물다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 정합회로 설계에서 사용하는 체비세프 설계법을 기본으로 하여, 좀 더 낫은 결과를 가질 수 있도록 하는 복합 최적화 과정을 제안한다.

This paper describes the simulation of a micromachined dome-shaped-diaphragm acoustic transducer built on a $1.5{\mu}m$ thick silicon nitride diaphragm ($2,000{\mu}m$ in radius, with a circular clamped boundary on a silicon substrate) with electrodes and piezoelectric ZnO film in a silicon substrate. Finite element analysis with ANSYS 5.6 has been performed to analyze the static and dynamic behaviors of the transducer under both pressure and voltage loadings.

A new type of piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) with high resonant frequency was developed by using a thin lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as an insulation layer on a floating $10{\mu}m$ silicon membrane. The PZT insulation layer facilitated acoustic impedance matching at active pMUT, leading to a high performance in the acoustic conversion property compared with the transducer using $SiO_2$ insulation layer. The fabricated ultrasonic devices were wirelessly measured by connecting two identical acoustic transducers to two separate ports in a single network analyzer simultaneously. The acoustic wave emitted from a transducer induced a $3.16{\mu}W$ on the other side of the transducer at a distance of 2 cm. The transducer performances in terms of device diameters, PZT thickness, annealings, and different DC polings, etc. were investigated. COMSOL simulation was also performed to predict the device performances prior to fabrication. Based on the COMSOL simulation, the device was fabricated and the results were compared.

Underwater acoustic transducers can be exposed to a underwater explosive shock caused by various types of underwater weapon. So, a robust anti-shock design is required for transducers to endure the underwater explosive shock. To check the anti-shock characteristics of a transducer, underwater explosive shock test is needed. The conditions of underwater explosive shock test are set up referring to various oversea explosive shock test specifications, and the explosive shock pressure values are calculated according to those conditions. Transient analyses art: carried out for two kinds of underwater acoustic transducer model to verify the anti-shock characteristics. The applied model has robust anti-shock characteristics enough to endure the explosive shock up to 2300 psi. In the future, the transducer design should be certified through the fields test, and modified if needed.

Typically, photoacoustic images are obtained in water or gelatin because the impedance of these mediums is similar to that of the human body. However, these acoustic mediums can have an additional mass effect that changes the resonance frequency of the transducer. The acoustic radiation impedance in air is negligible because it is very small compared to that of the transducer. However, the high acoustic impedance of mediums such as the human body and water is quite large compared to that of air, making it difficult to ignore. Specifically, in a case where the equivalent mass is very small, such as with a micro-machined ultrasound transducer, the additional mass effects of the acoustic medium should be considered for an accurate resonance frequency design. In this study, a piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) was designed to have a resonance frequency of 10 MHz in the acoustic medium of water, which has similar impedance as the human body. At that time, the resonance frequency of the pMUT in air was calculated at 15.2 MHz. When measuring the center displacement of the manufactured pMUT using a laser vibrometer, the resonance frequencies were measured as 14.3-15.1 MHz, which is consistent with the finite element method (FEM) simulation results. Finally, photoacoustic images of human hair samples were successfully obtained using the fabricated pMUT.

Piezoelectric underwater acoustic transducer is a kind of device for underwater detection working as not only an actuator but also a sensor. The technique that can predict acoustical characteristics of transducer is important for robust design of transducer in harsh underwater environment.

A linear array acoustic transducer with 12 tonpilz elements mounted independently on a gradual wedge-shaped tail mass was fabricated, tested and analyzed. The compensated transducer, which is modified by including a series inductance of 137 µH in the developed linear array transducer, attained improved figure of merit (FOM) performance characteristics compared with the uncompensated transducer. The four resonant frequency bands were identified from the measured FOM curve. The FOM response patterns over the frequency ranges of 31 to 40 kHz and 50 to 60 kHz were relatively uniform, whereas sharp resonance peaks were observed at around 73 kHz and 84 kHz. These results indicate that the developed linear array transducer can be used as an enhanced broadband transducer of echo sounder, and the operating frequency can be selected for more effective echo surveys in the fishing ground.

본 연구에서는 소형 물체가 음파 정상파의 압력 마디 부근에 소형 물체가 부양하는 정상파 음파 공중부양(standing wave acoustic levitation) 현상에 대해 베르누이 원리를 이용하여 부양의 원인이 되는 음향 방사힘(acoustic radiation force)의 근원과 개형을 기존에 알려진 진동자에서 떨어진 거리에 따른 음향 방사힘의 그래프와 비교함을 통해 개념적으로 설명했다. 이러한 설명을 뒷받침하는 일련의 실험들을 BLT(Bolt-clamped Langevin Type) 초음파 진동자를 이용해서 수행하여, 물체들이 공기의 압력 마디 부근에 부양하고 있음을 확인했고, 물체가 부양하고 있는 상태에서 정상파가 형성되는 조건임을 확인했다. 더불어, 정상파 음파 공중부양 현상에서 부양하는 물체들이 수직하게 일렬로 정렬하는 현상 역시 설명할 수 있었다.
