초록

원거리 초음파검사에서는 송신 혹은 수신 방향성 조종을 위해 보통 1/4 파장의 일정한 간격을 갖는 다수의 동일한 변환기들로 구성된 위상배열 탐촉자를 사용한다. 본 논문은 이 변환기 간격에 기인한 위상차를 보상한 후 구성 수신 신호들을 더하는 과정에서 그 출력신호와 함께 그 입력신호들을 시스템모니터에 나타냄으로써 개별 에코들의 진행방향을 실시간으로 식별할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 이 구성 에코들의 보강간섭은 의도된 방향으로 진행한 정방향 에코를 가리키고 반대로 상쇄간섭은 의도된 것과 반대방향으로 진행한 역방향 에코를 암시한다.

In long-range ultrasonic testing, a phased array probe composed of multiple identical transducers with an uniform interval of one quarter wavelength is usually used for the transmission or reception directivity control. This paper shows that the propagation directions of individual echoes can be identified in real time by displaying the inputs of a process for summing the constitution reception signals after compensating the phase difference due to the transducer interval, together with the output of the process. A constructive interference of the constitution echoes indicates a forward direction echo propagating along an intended direction while a destructive interference implies a reverse direction echo propagating along the direction opposite to the intended one.
