Via the finite element analysis, the constitutive equations for a piezoelectric material are discretized into a set of algebraic equations. The fluid loading is considered as an exciting force acting on the transducer surface. On the basis of the analysis, the resonance spectrum and electrical admittance spectrum are calculated with the condition of constant D-field. The proposed method provides an efficient way of designing a 1-3-type transducer.

The varistor is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-silicon FET) whose resistance determines the tap weight and is controlled by the voltage stored on the capacitance of the MOSFET gate. The integrated circuit contains the taps, tap weighting and RF summing circuitry to accomplish the transversal filter function. A digital shift register operates as a commutator that allows serial programming of the individual analog tap weights. There are 350 analog taps that yield a 1.5- mu s delay with a programmable bandwidth of 100 MHz at a center frequency of 175 MHz. The programmable tap on/off is greater than 30 dB with a +or-1.0-dB uniformity.
