A Novel, Rapid Method to Measure the Effective Aperture of Array Elements
Abstract Effective aperture is a commonly used measure of the amount of acoustic or electrical crosstalk between elements in ultrasonic arrays. It is also important to assess element-to-element uniformity and quality of the separation between the elements. This parameter is obtained from the beam profile obtained by pulsing each individual element with a known excitation function. The traditional ...
