Phased Array Calculations With Answers

1) Parameters like frequency, aperture size, element size, and pitch affect the probe's focusing ability, beam width, steering angle, and other properties. 2) Calculations are provided to determine the maximum focal distance, beam width at the focal point, beam divergence, beam size at a given depth, and maximum steering angle for various probe configurations. 3) Examples are given to calculate these metrics for probes with different aperture sizes, frequencies, and focal distances to illustrate how the parameters impact performance.

Limit of Focusing

Limited to the Extent of the Near Field

 A = Aperture of the array

  = Wavelength

  = Velocity of the test item


 Frequency of the transducer
