Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Probe Integrity Test Using a Focused Transducer with Similar Frequency and Limited Aperture for Contrast Enhancement

Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Probe Integrity Test Using a Focused Transducer with Similar Frequency and Limited Aperture for Contrast Enhancement

Air-coupled ultrasonic probes require a special design approach and handling due to the significant mismatch to the air. Outer matching layers have to be soft so can be easily damaged and excitation voltages might cause the degradation of electrodes or bonding between the layers. Integrity inspectio...
