摘要
This work proposes, for the first time, the use of Directly Modulated Ultrasonic Transducer (DMUT) array as an efficient way to drive individual sub-sections of Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (pMUTs) arrays. The system allows to implement the phased-array technique and re-configure in quasi real-time the maximum radiation of the pMUT array through a commercially available micro-controller. The results in this work show an increase of the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 13dB when transmitting from a 10x5 pMUT array to a commercial hydrophone through the DMUT phased-array. The achievements are promising towards the improvement of intrabody and underwater communication networks.
