Abstract

In the next generation of ultrasound imaging systems, Capacitive micromachined ultasonic transducer (CMUT) based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is a promising research direction of transducers, which has wide application prospects. In this paper, based on the study of three imaging methods, including classical phased array (CPA) imaging, classical synthetic aperture (CSA) imaging and phased subarray (PSA) imaging, several different imaging schemes are designed for linear CMUT array, after that the performances of these imaging schemes are compared and analyzed. The effects of the three imaging methods are verified and analyzed based on the linear CMUT array. Through analysis, it is found that the image quality of the classical phased array imaging method is the best, the imaging quality of the above three imaging methods can be effectively improved by adopting the amplitude apodization and dynamic focusing method. The research results in this paper will provide theoretical basis and application reference for the design of ultrasonic imaging system based on linear CMUT array in the future.
