Ultrasound Transducer Simulation Page
BioSono provides a cyberspace (www.biosono.com) where researchers, engineers, and students can find useful reference and educational materials, conduct acoustic simulation, post questions on design and development, and get answers. The online KLM based transducer acoustic stack simulation, which is currently free, can help you choose piezoelectric, matching and backing material, and a tuning electrical network. The output from the model includes electrical transmit impedance, acoustic receive impedance, and the impulse or pulse-echo response. The ultrasound beam profile simulation provides the calculated transmitted ultrasound pressure field under certain excitation for a given transducer aperture in a number of different geometrical configurations, including circular elements (flat and concave piston), rectangular elements, linear arrays, convex arrays, and 2D arrays. The simulation is based on Field II, which is a free program that utilizes the spatial impulse response method, and has been validated by many researchers for accuracy. In addition to the web based acoustic simulation, we also provide pulse-echo system, transducers, and customized design and develop services.

eZLab Impedance Analyzer Description

    Low cost impedance analyzer
  • Testing frequency range: 10k - 100MHz
  • PC/Laptop based, USB connection
  • Precalibrated, no calibration needed if no fixture
  • Matlab open source graphic interface
  • Easy data analysis and management

eZLab Impedance Analyzer is a low cost reliable impedance measurement solution. In most applications and especially to scan ultrasound transducer impedance, it is a low cost implementation of HP4294. The hardware is a small box with a dimension of 7 x 5 inches. It connects to a PC/laptop and is ready to use. The graphic user interface is Matlab based and the codes are open source, free to download. The box has three BNC connectors with one for impedance testing, and the other two are used for two channels sinusoidal signal output with adjustable phase difference.

eZLab Impedance Analyzer is designed with state of art direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology with a frequency testing range of from 10k to 100MHz, impedance range from 0 to 1kohm. The frequency resolution is determined by the DDS IC chip, which provides 0.12Hz or better resolution. The impedance accuracy is determined by the quality of calibration terminals and the system circuit leakage. The hardware has been calibrated at the BNC port before shipping and you don't need calibrate if your testing doesn't introduce an extra fixture. The accuracy is +-2%.

If the device under testing has impedance above 1k ohm, the frequency locations of the peaks and troughs of the impedance curve will still be correct but the absolute impedance value may be lower than its true value.
