Abstract
Two new ultrasound array antennas for medical applications are presented. These antennas are developed utilizing finite element simulations and they are manufactured by micromachining techniques. The first antenna is based on the piezoelectric transducer principle and can be simultaneously used for imaging and tumor therapy. The second antenna consists of electrostatic transducers, which are manufactured by surface micromachining and which allow an integration of the driver and receiver electronics.
