Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The objective is to create an entirely new range of ultrasonic transducers, with sufficient bandwidth and sensitivity to satisfy the latest generation of systems. The proposed means involves incorporation of active and passive materials dispersions within some of the constituent materials. This will facilitate mechanical matching, minimise cross coupling within array assemblies and critically enable multi-frequency adjustment via external electrical control. If successful, the approach could revolutionise current technology, and will have a major impact on some extremely significant market areas. These include harmonic imaging in biomedicine and wideband sonar - embracing underwater surveying, imaging, communication and navigation.
