Abstract

A reflection method is developed to characterize the sound field distribution. Instead of sphere reflection method or thin wires reflection method, a line response function of experimental step-edge distribution combined with the inverse Abel transforms is used to estimate the beam distributions of ultrasonic transducers; this approach is simpler and more cost-effective. An additional experiment with a small-aperture hydrophone was performed to compare with this method. Results of comparison demonstrated the effectiveness of this method.
