520 |a High-frequency array transducers can provide higher imaging resolution than traditional transducers, thus resolving smaller features and producing finer images. Commercially available ultrasonic transducers are mostly made with lead-based piezoelectric materials, which are harmful to the environment and public health. This paper presents the development of the 64-elements high-frequency (18.3 MHz) lead-free linear array ultrasonic transducer based on (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.86Ta0.1Sb0.04)O3 (KNLNTS) piezoceramic. Array elements were spaced at a 75- pitch, and interconnected via a custom flexible circuit. The two matching layers and a light backing material were used to improve the performance of the array. The developed KNLNTS ceramic-based lead-free linear array exhibited a center frequency of 18.3 MHz, an average -6-dB bandwidth of 42%, an average two-way insertion loss of 41.8 dB, and a crosstalk between the adjacent elements of less than -53 dB near the center frequency. An image of a tungsten wire phantom was acquired using a Verasonics Vantage research ultrasound system. Results from imaging tests demonstrated a good imaging capability with a spatial resolution of axially and laterally, indicating that the lead-free linear array ultrasonic transducer based on KNLNTS ceramics is a promising alternative to lead-based transducers for ultrasound medical imaging
