Relaxor ferroelectric materials are characterized by high dielectric permitivities and bias controllable piezoelectric response, making them attractive for ultrasonic imaging applications. We propose using relaxor ferroelectrics to multiplex a 2-D array for volumetric and B-mode imaging. Piezoelectric properties of 2-D relaxor elements were measured and used for modeling relaxor ferroelectric transducers. A variable aperture 96 element 1.5-D array was fabricated using a relaxor material and integrated with a commercial B-mode scanner to investigate its multiplexing capability.
