[Experimental studies of signal fields of ultrasound broad band transducers].
Quantitative analysis of ultrasonic signals, as increasingly practised, makes it necessary to increase the band width as well as the efficiency of ultrasonic transducers. An broad band ultrasonic transducer is presented which meets the requirements by double lambda/4 layer matching and was specially designed for medical ultrasonic spectroscopy. In an extended measurement programme transmitter characteristic, spatial dependence of the spectral content of the transmitter signals as well as beam geometry and its frequency dependence are investigated and compared with conventional transducers.
