Abstract
A MEMS device comprises a substrate having at least a first transducer optimized for transmitting pressure waves, and at least a second transducer optimized for detecting pressure waves. The transducers can be optimised for transmitting or receiving by varying the diameter, thickness or mass of the membrane and/or electrode of each respective transducer. Various embodiments are described showing arrays of transducers, with different configurations of transmitting and receiving transducers. Embodiments are also disclosed having an array of transmitting transducers and an array of receiving transducers, wherein elements in the array of transmitting and/or receiving transducers are arranged to have different resonant frequencies. At least one of said first and second transducers may comprise an internal cavity that is sealed from the outside of the transducer.
