The results showed substantial variations in the amplitudes and phases of the pressure outputs of elements driven with the same input signal. However, these variations produced only a slight asymmetry in the side lobes and did not affect the 3-dB beamwidth of the characteristic focus. Compensating for the phase variations increased the focal intensity and improved the symmetry of the overall field pattern. Similar improvement was found when compensation was used for the synthesis of an annular field pattern. The fact that this compensation could be completely implemented in software demonstrates the flexibility of phased arrays.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Both inline and slanted interdigital transducer (IDT) geometries are analyzed. Two extensions of the existing model are presented. The wave propagation between two slanted IDTs is modeled in the ASoW with a three-prism model considering exactly the quadrupole refraction effect at the bus bars between the input and the output IDT. Different velocity dispersions in the bus bars and in the transducers, due to both the electrical loading and the mechanical loading effects, are taken into account. The measurements of two delay lines are compared with the corresponding simulations. Excellent agreement, even at the band edges, is shown. Simulations demonstrate the strong effect of refraction at the bus bars.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

A technique for achieving the necessary broad bandwidth of the ultrasonic transducer, which has to be excited within a low-frequency band due to the increased absorption of ultrasound in gas with frequency, is described. A signal-processing system suitable for very low and high times-of-flight and their differences is also presented. Discussed is the use of a special filtering technique based on assessing the gradient of the time series (in ascending order) of times-of-flight which eliminates spurious times-of-flight observed in actual interrogations of the flow.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

With no air damping, flexural vibrations of this membrane decay slowly and may become noticeable in vehicular applications. Damping such tension-mask vibrations is rendered difficult by three factors: the mask must be kept clear of obstructions, except for a narrow strip along its edges; mask resonance frequencies vary widely during operation, because electron-beam heating of the mask changes with picture content, causing tension to vary correspondingly; and conventional damping materials cannot be used in a vacuum tube. The first two obstacles are overcome by a dynamic vibration damper attached to the mask near its edge in such a way that the resonant frequency of the damper tracks that of the mask. Resistive loading of this damper over a wide frequency range is provided by a flexural transmission line loaded with loose-fitting bushings. The decay time of the fundamental membrane mode is thus reduced from about 10 s to approximately 20 ms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The signals were digitized and stored in two- and three-dimensional formats.

Plate modes and surface modes are generated on a thin fluid-coupled plate due to diffraction and mode conversion on the periodic grooves engraved on the metallic sample. A significant advantage of such a method is its ability to excite guided waves that have a phase velocity lower than the velocity of the fluid. Sharp dips observed in the reflected spectrum at certain frequency positions are related to the existence of Lamb and Scholte-Stoneley modes. Special emphasize is given to the low frequency domain. Experimental data show anomalous ultrasonic dispersion in this region and a mixing between the A/sub 0/ mode and the Scholte-Stoneley mode.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The possible effect of phase error during propagation through tissue was modeled in a simple manner by adding random phases to the array elements.
