Next Thursday, November 17, 2016, a seminar will be held on processing Of untrasonic signals in charge of Dr. Tomás E. Gómez Álvarez-Arenas, Higher Council of Scientific Research. The seminar will take place on November 17, 2016 at 15:00 in the classroom 1.1 Building Altabix.

Content The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical and vice versa is the basis of technology Of numerous sensors and actuators widely used today. At Case of dynamic devices operating at ultrasonic frequencies we can From the medical ultrasound systems to the latest generation of Fingerprint sensors in high-end cameras. Equally, it is the basis of New technologies that are being developed in fields such as interaction Non-contact man-machine or non-electromagnetic communication systems Wireless. This seminar reviews the physical principles of transduction Electromechanical and propagation of ultrasonic waves, presents the main Sensors and actuators, with special emphasis on those that make use of Ultrasonic waves: piezoelectric, capacitive and micromechanized transducers Both CMUTs and PMUTs, and laser systems (both for generation and reception) and Presents some applications of these technologies in the field of medical ultrasound, Materials testing, and consumer electronics.
