Abstract

We report on the development of a novel technique for creating real-time frequency tuning in Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (PMUTs). This technique employs controlled virtual added mass in a confined microfluidic environment as a switch to tune the resonant frequency of a PMUT. Using this technique, we could vary the frequency of a 500circular PMUT from 489 kHz to 210 kHz, corresponding to a tuning range of 57%. This shows the potential of using such a technique in creating PMUTs with a wide range of frequency tuning.
