High-Resolution B-Scan Systems Using a Circular Array

  • Chapter
Acoustical Holography

Abstract

The desirable characteristics of an improved cross-sectional or B-scan imaging system include diffraction-limited lateral resolution in both dimensions at all depths, large-aperture receiver sensitivity, and real-time imaging. No B-scan system, in use or published, meets all of these desirable traits. Some array systems are proposed in this paper which attempt to meet all of these characteristics in a relatively simple structure.
