Abstract The electroacoustic measurement model is an explicit model of an entire ultrasonic measurement system, including the pulser/receiver, cabling, and transducers. A summary is given of the measurement procedures needed for characterizing all the system elements contained in this measurement model, including a description of a new pulse-echo method for obtaining the sensitivity and impedance of an ultrasonic transducer. It is demonstrated that these models and measurement procedures can be combined to accurately simulate the measured voltage of a pulseecho immersion system.
