A Review of Acoustic Impedance Matching Techniques for Piezoelectric Sensors and Transducers [PDF]
The coupling of waves between the piezoelectric generators, detectors, and propagating media is challenging due to mismatch in the acoustic properties. The mismatch leads to the reverberation of waves within the transducer, heating, low signal-to-noise ...

Acoustic impedance-based surface acoustic wave chip for gas leak detection and respiratory monitoring [PDF]
Acoustic impedance enables many interesting acoustic applications. However, acoustic impedance for gas sensing is rare and difficult. Here we introduce a micro-nano surface acoustic wave (SAW) chip based on the acoustic impedance effect to achieve ultra ...

Acoustic impedance matched buffers enable separation of bacteria from blood cells at high cell concentrations. [PDF]
Sepsis is a common and often deadly systemic response to an infection, usually caused by bacteria. The gold standard for finding the causing pathogen in a blood sample is blood culture, which may take hours to days. Shortening the time to diagnosis would

Generalized acoustic impedance metasurface
Impedance theory has become a favorite method for metasurface design as it allows perfect control of wave properties. However, its functionality is strongly limited by the condition of strict continuity of normal power flow.

The influence of impedance mismatch of the medium with gradient change of impedance on acoustic characteristics [PDF]
Medium with gradient change of acoustic impedance is a new type acoustic structure. It is composed of several materials and has a continuous gradient composition and structure whose specific acoustic impedance varies smoothly across the layer.
