Characterization of dual-electrode CMUTs : demonstration of improved receive performance and pulse echo operation with dynamic membrane shaping

A 1-D dual-electrode CMUT array for intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with a center frequency of 8 MHz has been designed, fabricated, and used to demonstrate the potential of dual-electrode CMUTs. Using a dual-electrode CMUT, 9 dB higher receive signal level is obtained over the 6 dB fractional ba...
