[ T = \frac4Z_1Z_2(Z_1+Z_2)^2 ]
Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) and atomic force microscopes (AFMs) require vibration amplitudes < 0.1 µm. Wave pads, often in series with active isolation, provide low-cost pre-filtering.
A wave pad reduces transmitted vibration by introducing a layer with acoustic impedance ( Z = \rho c ), where ( \rho ) is density and ( c ) is the speed of sound in the material. When a wave encounters a boundary between steel (high ( Z )) and elastomer (low ( Z )), partial reflection occurs. The transmission coefficient ( T ) across two interfaces (pad top and bottom) is:
