    Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus and control method for a capacitive electromechanical transducer with small decrease in transmission/reception efficiency, and with sets of transmission/reception characteristics with different frequency ranges. The apparatus has cells each including first and second electrodes facing each other via a gap; includes a driving/detecting unit and an external stress applying unit. The driving/detecting unit performs at least one of causing the second electrode to vibrate and transmit elastic waves by generating an AC electrostatic attractive force between the electrodes, and detecting a change of capacity between the electrodes, the change being caused by the second electrode vibrating upon receipt of elastic waves. The external stress applying unit changes the external stress applied to the second electrode. The driving/detecting unit adjusts frequency characteristics by changing a parameter defining the frequency domain used in a transmitting/receiving operation, corresponding to the change of the external stress.

    Abstract: This invention includes a square wave signal generating circuit 20 for generating a square wave signal whose frequency changes; a MOS transistor 12 which is turned on/off on the basis of the square wave signal to supply a driving current to a vibrator 14; and a frequency shift detecting circuit 24 for detecting a frequency shift between the square wave signal from the square wave generating circuit and a resonance frequency of the vibrator. The shift in the frequency generated by the square wave generating circuit is trimmed by a signal detected by the frequency shift detecting circuit.

    Abstract: A differential circuit is used to compare the current to the drive transducers to a matched reference circuit. With the capacitive current from the piezoelectric transducer canceled out in this manner, the resulting output current provides a direct measure of the vibration amplitude of the drop generator. By adding an appropriate inductor in parallel to the capacitive piezoelectric drive transducers, the loading of the drive electronics, or oscillator, is significantly reduced.
