Embodiment 2

[0054] The present invention needs to control the circuit system related to sending and receiving ultrasonic waveforms, and an elliptical diaphragm capacitive micro-ultrasonic sensor unit needs to apply a bias DC voltage to send and receive ultrasonic waves. When the unit is in the transmitting state, an additional AC pulse excitation is applied between the top electrode 11 of the elliptical membrane secondary array and the silicon substrate 15. Under the simultaneous action of the DC bias voltage and the pulse excitation, the elliptical diaphragm 10 vibrates and sends out pulses. Signal. When the unit is in the receiving state, the elliptical diaphragm 10 generates an alternating current signal under the action of the ultrasonic wave, which is received by the circuit detection system to judge the amplitude and phase information of the ultrasonic wave for information processing.

Abstract

The invention discloses a capacitance type micro-ultrasonic sensor ring array with an oval diaphragm unit structure and a circuit system thereof. The work unit of the ring array is an oval diaphragm secondary array. The oval diaphragm secondary array comprises an oval vibrating diaphragm, oval diaphragm secondary array top electrodes and oval diaphragm secondary array top electrode outlet PADs, wherein the oval diaphragm secondary array top electrodes are distributed above the oval vibrating diaphragm, and each oval diaphragm secondary array top electrode is connected with the corresponding oval diaphragm secondary array top electrode outlet PAD. An FPGA controls a transmitting end to scan each device unit and send phase-controlled pulse signals, and focusing and translation of transmitted acoustic waves of the capacitance type micro-ultrasonic sensor ring array with the oval diaphragm unit structure are achieved through a phased array. A receiving device receives ultrasonic echo signals which are then read into an FPGA memory through a pre-amplifier and an analog to digital conversion module (AD), and imaging is conducted according to the phase and amplitude of each received signal. According to the capacitance type micro-ultrasonic sensor ring array with the oval diaphragm unit structure, the sweep area of the imaging ring array is increased and the receiving sensitivity of an oval vibrating diaphragm is improved.
