Abstract

Coded excitation techniques have been widely used in radar and sonar for improved resolution and noise performance. Whilst becoming more common in medical ultrasound, only few industrial applications have been reported. We present some results from work looking at air-coupled phased arrays aiming at improved air flow speed measurements. The high insertion loss for air-coupled transducers means that coded excitation is desirable and needs to be investigated for arrays. Transducer sensitivity is often optimised at the expense of bandwidth, which can compromise the benefits of coded excitation and this relationship has been examined. The paper reports on the relative performance of Golay codes, and examines the trade-offs with transducer bandwidth.
