Ultrasonic tomography : the transducer characteristics and hardware control

Ultrasonic transducer plays an important role in ultrasonic tomography system besides its associated electronic hardware. This is important for acquiring the data needed to produce a meaningful image. This is fundamental to the success or failure of an acoustic imaging system. Therefore, given the object to be imaged and the specifications to be achieved, the design of the front-end of an acoustic imaging system should be regarded as a first priority [
