PULSE ECHO OVERLAP METHOD USING ELECTROSTATIC TRANSDUCERS

The pulse echo overlap method using electrostaic transducers for accurate measurement ofultrasonic velocity in solid media is discussed in this paper.Owing to the advantage of non-contactfor electrostatic transducers,the correction for coupling layer can be eliminated and the correct cyclicoverlap can be easily achieved,thus the performance of the echo measuring system is significanitlyimproved.In this paper the diffraction correction is calculated for the echo measuring system usingelectrostatic transducers,and an ultrasonic velocity measuring instrument and its transducers arealso described.The measuring results for several specimens of glass and aluminium show that themeasuring accuracy of transmission time in this system reaches 1/500 of RF period,that means themeasnring accuracy reaches 0.2 ns at 10 MHz.     

用静电换能器实施超声脉冲回波重合法精密测量固体的声速

本文讨论采用静电换能器实施脉冲回波重合法以精密测量固体介质的声速.由于静电换能器的非接触特性,避免了耦合层修正且容易实现正确的周期重合,从而大大提高了测量系统的性能.本文推导并计算了使用静电换能器时的回波测量系统的衍射修正量,设计并制作了ESO型固体声速仪及其探头装置.对几块玻璃和铝试样的测量结果表明,本测量系统测量声时的精度达到射频周期的1/500,即当超声频率10MHz时,声时测量精度达到0.2ns.
