In this paper, a nonlinear optimal design technique is presented to find an optimal beam pattern. With this technique, the beam width is minimized with respect to a given maximum allowable side-lobe level considering the self- and mutual radiation impedances of vibrators. The proposed method is applied to design a planar array consisting 37 vibrators which are symmetric in X, Y and $45^{circ}$ axes. The results show that significantly low side-lobe level maintaining a main beam width can be obtained using this method.

This paper describes the development of a piezoelectric level switch, which aims to effectively monitor the level status in high ambient temperatures. In order to adjust the impedance near the resonant frequency and temperature characteristics, the effect of the case and backing layer materials on its performance was analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The suggested prototype new level switch has three heat-sink plates attached to SUS bar of 230 mm long, and case of PEEK which contains PZT sensing part. To illustrate the validity of this level switch, 10 samples are prepared and investigated the sensing performance through the high and low temperature ambient.

트랜스듀서의 삽입손실과 임펄스 응답특성 등을 정확히 해석하기 위해서는 대상 주파수 대역에 대한 특성을 알아야한다. 방사임피던스는 주파수의 함수이기 때문에 이러한 특성을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정방형 방사면을 가지는 트랜스듀서 이용하여, 무한배플에서의 방사임피던스를 고려한 삽입손실을 이론적으로 계산하고 무한배플로 근사할 수 있는 모델을 제작하고, 이를 실험으로 확인한 결과 좋은 일치를 보이고 있어 본 연구에서 제안한 해석법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

초음파 변환기의 정합을 위해서는 초음파 변환기의 등가회로 구성이 중요하다. 전통적인 등가회로의 경우 비교적 안정적인 등가회로를 예측하게 해 주지만 초음파변환기 구성에서 일어나는 초음파 변환기 외의 구성품 즉 Backing Material, Acoustic Window Material, Radiation Impedance 등에 의한 부가적인 효과를 모델링하는 데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 좀 더 일반적인 방법으로 초음파 변환기를 모델링하는 방법이 필요하다. 그런 방법의 하나로 주파수 영역 측정에 의한 초음파변환기 등가회로 추정법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 초음파 변환기 제작 시 많이 쓰는 임피던스 분석의 결과를 그대로 사용할 수 있고 또 그것이 없어도 일반 함수발생기와 오실로스코프만으로 측정할 수 있어서 랜덤함수를 발생시키고 이에 대한 출력을 저장해야 데이터를 얻을 수 있는 시간영역 추정법에 대해서 장점을 갖는다.

The paper experimentally deals with the radial in-plane vibration characteristics of disk-shaped piezoelectric transducers. The radial in-plane motion, which is induced due to Poisson's ratio in the piezoelectric disk polarized in the thickness direction, was measured by using an in-plane laser vibrometer, and the natural frequencies were measured by using an impedance analyzer. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical predictions obtained by simplified theoretical and finite-element analyses. It appears that the fundamental mode of a piezoelectric disk transducer is a radial mode and its radial displacement distribution from the center to the perimeter is not monotonic but shows maximum slightly apart from the perimeter. The theoretically-calculated fundamental frequencies agree well with the finite-element results for small thickness-to-diameter ratio, and they are accurate within 7 % error for the ratio up to 0.4.

Ultrasound system is one of the complex wireless signal processing systems that are widely used in the fields of modern industry such as medical diagnostics, underwater communications, and sensor-networks. Miniaturization of ultrasound system has been raging recently. In this paper, a hybrid LNA that is suitable for miniaturization and mobile diagnostic ultrasound system has been developed. The proposed LNA has low noise figure of less than 5dB, and the feedback resistor is designed to be electrically adjusted in order to attain the impedance-matching for various ultrasound transducers. It supports the whole ultrasound frequencies from 10KHz to 150MHz frequency band and also provides sleep modes. A gain from -18.8 to -29.5 dB is achieved by adjusting each transducer to fit the system character. Power consumption can be reduced up to 90% in similar performance as compared to the existing LNA.

In order to detect damage in early stages and properly maintaining structures, the structural health monitoring technology is employed. In most cases, active-sensing SHM needs many piezoelectric (PZT) sensors and actuators. Thus, if there is a defect on PZT used for active-sensing SHM, the structural status could be misclassified. This study, for reliable SHM performance, investigated to detect defects of sensors by using the admittance-based sensor diagnostics. This study also introduced an algorithm that can diagnose sensor defects based only on data measured from the sensors in case that information about the changes in adhesive and environmental investigation, this study confirms that the proposed algorithm could be efficiently applied to real-world structures in which a significant temperature variation could take place.

The effect of the reflector type for the SAW filter on the characteristics of the slanted finger IDT filter have been studied by computer simulation. The IDT was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy. The design condition was optimized by the phase shift of the SAWfilter for WCDMA. We have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness are $5,000{\AA}$, and the width and the space of reflector are $3.6{\mu}m$ and $2.0{\mu}m$, respectively. Frequency response of the fabricated SFIT filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bandwidth at the 3dB is probably 8.2MHz. And we could obtain that the return loss is less then 16dB, the ripple characteristics is probably 4dB and the triple transit echo is less then 18dB after when we have matched impedance.

The purpose of this study is the development and application of a high resolution ultrasonic wave imaging system to detect discontinuity plane in lab-scale rock models. This technique is based on received time series which capture the multiple reflections at interface. This study includes the fundamental aspects of ultrasonic wave propagation in rock mass, the selection of the optimal ultrasonic wave transducer, data gathering, a signal processing, imaging methods, and experiments. Experiments are carried out by the horizontal movement and rotation devices. Experimental studies show the discontinuity is well detected by the horizontal movement and rotation devices under water. Furthermore, the discontinuity and the cavity on the plaster block are identified by the rotation device. This study suggests that the new method may be an economical and effective tool for the detection of the discontinuity on rock mass.
