Abstract

The success of modern electronics is built on the possibility to accurately predict system behavior by using simulation tools. This paradigm can be extended to components such as piezoelectric transducers attached to the electronics. The ability to simulate both piezoelectric transducer and electronics together renders possible effective optimizations at system level, i.e. minimizing size, cost and power consumption. In this paper a computer simulation of a combined electronics and piezoelectric transducer system is explored. The analogy between acoustic wave propagation and wave propagation in an electric transmission line is given. The simulation approach is applied to a pulser-receiver setup for the determination of speed of sound and attenuation in liquids. Experiments and simulations are made for fixed temperature and in the frequency range 1–10 MHz using ethanol, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, benzene and distilled water as test samples. Comparison shows a good agreement between simulation and experiments. Furthermore, the use of an ultrasonic simulation package allows for the development of the associated electronics to amplify and process the received ultrasonic signals.
