Abstract :
In previous works we have been able to achieve electro-mechanical characteristics of ultrasound transducers with thick film technology and we delineate the way of their characterization. In this work the radiation characteristics, vibration behavior and the shape of the acoustic field are shown. Also we analyze the pulsed operation using the advantages of the structural behavior that the thick film PZT technology gives us.
