High-performance vector hydrophones have been gaining attention for underwater target-monitoring applications. Nevertheless, there exists the mutual constraint between sensitivity and bandwidth of a single hydrophone. To solve this problem, a four-unit array piezoelectric bionic MEMS vector hydrophone (FPVH) was developed in this paper, which has a cross-beam and a bionic fish-lateral-line-nerve-cell-cilia unit array structure. Simulation analysis and optimization in the design of the bionic microstructure have been performed by COMSOL 6.1 software to determine the structure dimensions and the lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin film distribution. The FPVH was manufactured using MEMS technology and tested in a standing wave bucket. The results indicate that the FPVH has a sensitivity of up to -167.93 dB@1000 Hz (0 dB = 1 V/μPa), which is 12 dB higher than that of the one-unit piezoelectric MEMS vector hydrophone (OPVH). Additionally, the working bandwidth of the FPVH reaches 20 Hz~1200 Hz, exhibiting a good cosine curve with an 8-shape. This work paves a new way for the development of multi-unit piezoelectric vector hydrophones for underwater acoustic detectors.

Midinfrared (2.5-25 μm) spectroscopy is an ideal tool for identifying chemicals in a nondestructive manner. The traditional platform is a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, but this is too bulky, expensive, and power-hungry for many applications.

The vector hydrophone is playing a more and more prominent role in underwater acoustic engineering, and it is a research hotspot in many countries; however, it also has some shortcomings. For the mixed problem involving received signals in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) vector hydrophones in the presence of a large amount of external environment noise, noise and drift inevitably occur. The distortion phenomenon makes further signal detection and recognition difficult.

People spend approximately one-third of their lives in sleep, but more and more people are suffering from sleep disorders. Sleep posture is closely related to sleep quality, so related detection is very significant. In our previous work, a smart flexible sleep monitoring belt with MEMS triaxial accelerometer and pressure sensor has been developed to detect the vital signs, snore events and sleep stages.
