A new type of receiving array has been designed and constructed for the purpose of visualizing an object by using the ultrasonic wave at low frequency. The array consists of 24 receiving elements around three coaxial circles on a spherical surface. The multiplication of three additive outputs, each of which is the sum of the eight element outputs on a circle, is performed for the signal processing of the array. After theoretical and experimental studies, it has been proven that the array proposed is appropriate for the high-directional receiver in the ultrasonic visualization system. A preliminary experiment on imaging the object in the air has been carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
