Free Field Reciprocity Calibration in a Convergent Spherical Acoustic Wave of a Focusing Transducer

Based on the reciprocity theorem of the acoustic field,we derive the formula of the reciprocity coefficient of a convergent spherical acoustic wave and we calculate a series of diffraction corrective factor curves of the reciprocity coefficient of transducers.Using these formulae and corrective factors,we calibrate the free field transmitting current response and the free field voltage sensitivity of a focusing transducer using the self-reciprocity method.The experimental results of the reciprocity calibration of the focusing transducer in the frequency range of 2MHz to 5.4MHz are presented.     

自聚焦换能器的声场研究

高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）治疗局部肿瘤是一项无创伤的新技术,有着很好的应用前景,因此对其声场的研究是有实际的价值的。对声场的研究不仅有利于换能器的设计,提高治疗的效果;而且有助声场测量方案的设计,提高对治疗超声剂量的安全保证。本文采用时域有限差分法研究了自聚焦换能器的声场,分别对简谐波,脉冲波进行了研究。比较清楚地看出在焦区的声场可以认为是平面波,这对光纤端面法声场测量提供了有力的支持。
