High power generation in the 200 KHz to 10 MHz frequency range

• HI1 Technology
  Current high intensity IMASONIC technology called HI1 allows high power generation in both continuous and burst modes. Power limitations have to be defined for each situation according to frequency and duty cycle :
  At 1.5 MHz with a burst duration of 4 seconds and a break time of 15 seconds, the transmitted electrical power can be as high as 30 W/cm?* during the burst (mean power up to 6 W/cm?*).

• HI2 Technology
  A new technology called HI2 which provides an even greater power capability than HI1 will soon available.
  At 1.5 MHz, the HI2 technology permits duty cycle of up to 80% with a mean transmitted electrical power of up to 30 W/cm?*.

^*  Input power per unit of radiating area

Large bandwidth

• 40 to 60% of nominal frequency at -3dB in transmission with electrically matched driving electronics
• Frequency sweep and/or modulation capability,
• Short pulses can be transmitted and received by all or part of the radiating surface for pulse echo detection.

Formable

• Special curvatures and apertures can be produced to focus the energy into a well defined volume.

Thickness mode vibration without parasitic modes

• Clean and predictable beam pattern without spurious lobes inside the medium.

Radiating surface electrically isolated

• High electrical safety.

Array structure capability

• For some advanced applications, piezocomposite transducers can be produced as annular, linear or matrix arrays. These arrays are dedicated to electric focusing or steering in applications where focus distance, beam width adjustment, or beam scanning are required.
