Abstract
This study builds on previous research by the authors, where the design of a miniaturized class IV transducer configuration and adaption for including an end-effector for use in biopsy are investigated. Device design has focused on the generation of displacement uniformity across the output surface of the transducer. This has the aim of maximizing device reliability and minimizing nonlinear responses that could adversely affect the performance of devices incorporating endeffectors. The devices investigated in this study, designed using finite element analysis, have been experimentally characterized to identify their impedance and resonant characteristics.
