This paper presents a multi-channel piezoelectric acoustic transducer that is working within the audible frequency band (250- 5500 Hz). The transducer consists of eight cantilevers with thin film PLD-PZT piezoelectric layers. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5x5x0.6 mm(3) and mass of 4.8 mg excluding the test frame. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for modelling cantilever resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs. This model and shaker-table experiments are in good agreement on the frequency (97%) and output voltage (89%) values. Transducer can generate up to 139.36 mV(pp) under 0.1 g excitation at 316 Hz, which is the highest reported output voltage from a piezoelectric acoustic sensor to the best of our knowledge.

Thin-Film PZT based Multi-Channel Acoustic MEMS Transducer for Cochlear Implant Applications
Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Külah, Haluk (2021-01-01)
AuthorThis paper presents a multi-channel acoustic transducer that works within the audible frequency range (250-5500 Hz) and mimics the operation of the cochlea by filtering incoming sound. The transducer is composed of eight thin film piezoelectric cantilever beams with different resonance frequencies. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.62 mm and mass of 4.8 mg. Resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs of the bea...
Thin Film PZT Acoustic Sensor for Fully Implantable Cochlear Implants
İlik, Bedirhan; Koyuncuoğlu, Aziz; Uluşan, Hasan; Chamanıan, Salar; Işık Akçakaya, Dilek; Şardan Sukas, Özlem; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-06)
This paper presents design and fabrication of a MEMS-based thin film piezoelectric transducer to be placed on an eardrum for fully-implantable cochlear implant (FICI) applications. Resonating at a specific frequency within the hearing band, the transducer senses eardrum vibration and generates the required voltage output for the stimulating circuitry. Moreover, high sensitivity of the sensor, 391.9 mV/Pa @900 Hz, decreases the required power for neural stimulation. The transducer provides highest voltage ou...

Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
This thesis presents multi-channel acoustic MEMS transducer that is able to work within the audible frequency range (250-5500 Hz) and mimic the operation of a cochlea by filtering incoming sound. This transducer is composed of eight thin film piezoelectric cantilever beams possessing different resonance frequencies. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in a middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5 x 5 x0.6 mm3 and 4.8 mg. Resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs of the beams are modeled ...
Frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS technology
Erdıl, Emre; Topallı, Kagan; Unlu, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2007-04-01)
A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented that is monolithically integrated with RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors for tuning the resonant frequency. Reconfigurability of the operating frequency of the microstrip patch antenna is achieved by loading it with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) stub on which variable MEMS capacitors are placed periodically. MEMS capacitors are implemented with surface micromachining technology, where a 1-mu m thick aluminum structural layer is plac...
Comparison of PWM and PFM induction drives ID in,egarding audible noise and vibration for household applications
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2004-11-01)
This paper is aimed at comparing the performance of pulse frequency modulation (PFM) and pulsewidth modulation (PWM) techniques regarding audible noise generated from inverter-driven induction motors. For the purpose of illustrating the performance of the two modulation techniques, a drive developed for washing machine applications is considered. First, the measured and simulated harmonic content of this inverter is compared with the measured harmonic spectrum of a three-phase input-output commercial variab...
