This contribution is concerned with a technique to precisely measure the physical dimensions of flaws in solid specimen by pulse-echo mode acoustic microscopy. We have implemented a synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT), which is based on a semi-numerical simulation approach (SIRFEM). In acoustic microscopy, one normally applies single-element transducers with center frequencies above 10MHz...
In this work a causal P-matrix method for leaky SAW(LSAW) devices and the determination of the thereto needed COM-parameters slowness s and reflection r are presented. As a consequence of causality s and r in general are complex. The imaginary parts of reflection and slowness are interpreted as the exchange of energy between SAW and BAW. A relation of energy conservation between imaginary parts of...
In ultrasound imaging, cross coupling of transducer elements through the medium has significant effect on the frequency response, thus affecting the quality of the ultrasound image. In Side-Looking Intravascular Ultrasound (SL-IVUS) imaging a radial image of the vessel wall is formed using a transducer array in a cylindrical configuration. Recent advances in Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer...
Research on electrically-small antennas has been active for a long time, but so far it is still challenging to approach the Chu's limit that sets a constraint between the quality factor and the size of an antenna. Some researchers have made efforts to generate electromagnetic (EM) radiation by driving the magnetization of ferri-/ferro-magnetic materials, which can be efficiently realized via mechanical...
Shear wave inspection is generated from mode conversion of longitudinal waves, using a selected, angled wedge positioned between the transducer and the test specimen. However, in certain scenarios where access is restricted the combination of the transducer and the wedge can be too cumbersome for in situ deployment. In this work, a low profile, linear ultrasound array transducer is proposed to generate...
