Abstract
A method of obtaining ultrasonic images of objects radiating ultrasonic acoustic waves in the air is proposed. Object images are retrieved by spatially matched filtering of the amplitude-phase distribution of the ultrasonic field measured in a planar rectangular region at a distance from the radiating object under investigation. The field is measured at different frequencies in a wide band, which allows one to reduce the level of noise and artifacts in the retrieved images by processing in a wide frequency band.
