Abstract

This paper presents an automatic scanning and visualizing system for ultrasound field of a planar piston transducer. This system consists of a water tank with wedge absorber, stepper motors driver, system controller, a planar piston transducer, a needle-type hydrophone and data processing software. Our software realizes the processing and displaying of ultrasonic data, which are acquired by adjusting accurately positions of the hydrophone and transducer that are driven by stepper motors. And the ultrasonic field is represented by employing 1D, 2D or 3D graphs of data, respectively. Experimental results show that this auto-scanning and visualizing system provides a more spatial structure of ultrasonic field and reveals a more characteristic of ultrasonic beam radiated by the planar piston transducer.
