Computer-Aided Design of Ultrasonic Transducer Broadband Matching Networks

Abstract

The application of computer-aided circuit design (CAD) for modifying the performance of ultrasonic transducers according to certain design specifications has received limited recognition. To illustrate the power of CAD for providing better designs, this paper departs from the more conventional approach (controlling bonding and matching layers) and outlines a design strategy employing appropriate broadband matching networks.
