Abstract
Broadband ultrasound transducers and related methods are disclosed herein. An example ultrasonic transducer disclosed herein includes a substrate and a first membrane supported by the substrate. The first membrane is to exhibit a first frequency response when oscillated. The example ultrasonic transducer includes a second membrane supported by the substrate. The second membrane is to exhibit a second frequency response different from the first frequency response when oscillated. The example ultrasonic transducer includes a third membrane supported by the substrate. The third membrane is to exhibit one of the second frequency response or a third frequency response different from the first frequency response and the second frequency response when oscillated. A shape of the first membrane is to differ from a shape of the second membrane and a shape of the third membrane.
