Abstract :
An optimization method for transducer design is proposed in this paper. It was based on the cascade networks analysis which the acoustic and electrical properties of the transducer component assemblies were measured and fed back for calculation.; the results indicate whether or not the component assemblies would meet the performance requirement. Analysis and fabrication process may iterate steps by steps until a good performance transducer is obtained. an example of the matching layer design is studied and the results revealed the effectiveness of this optimization method on a broadband transducer design
