Ultrasonic Phased Array Industrial Imaging with Sub-Nyquist Sampling Rate

Article Preview

Abstract:

this paper uses a new type of FRI (Finite Rate of Innovation) sampling pattern based Sub-Nyquist sampling model breaked through Shannon theorem that it can get accurate signal reconstruction based on signal information rate, which requires the sampling frequency lower than two times the max signal frequency. We apply the new model in the ultrasonic phased array industrial imaging. In the experiment, ultrasonic phased array realized dynamic focusing and the high speed scan by ultrasonic array transducer of various array time delays to get flexible controllable synthesis beam composed signals that received by 32 phased array elements . The results indicate that in the model it greatly reduces the signal sampling frequency and improves the signal-to-noise ratio, frequency resolution at the same of the beam focusing and steering flexible.
