Minatech and PMC (Panevezys Centre of Mechatronics) organised 9th International Workshop on Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers

Workshop website: http://www.panmc.lt/MUT2010

Panevezys, Lithuania, 20th-21th May 2010

Initiated in 2001 in Rome, the MUT workshop took place since then, almost every year, in various cities of Europe (Besan?on (2002), Lausanne (2003), Florence (2004), Munich (2006), Antalya (Turkey)(2007), Trondheim (2008), Besan?on (2009)). It gathers researchers and engineers from all over the world to exchange knowledge, ideas, results and perspectives on this new and attractive applicative field.

Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (MUT) present good bandwidth characteristics, design flexibility, electronic interface integration and, potentially, low cost. They offer a promising alternative to piezoelectric transducers for various medical and industrial applications.

Topics:

Concepts and fundamentals; Technologies; Processing, fabrication and material issues; Electronics interfacing and packaging; Modeling: nonlinearities, FEM simulation, cross-talk; Characterization; Applications
