  2. Electromagnetic acoustic transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_acoustic...

    Using EMAT, the requirements to surface smoothness are less stringent; the only requirement is to remove loose scale and the like. Easier for sensor deployment. Using piezoelectric transducer, the wave propagation angle in the test part is affected by Snell's law. As a result, a small variation in sensor deployment may cause a significant ...

  3. Transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transducer

    A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another. [1] Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.).

  4. Ultrasonic transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_transducer

    The transducer may be used in contact with the skin, as in fetal ultrasound imaging, or inserted into a body opening such as the rectum or vagina. Clinicians who perform ultrasound-guided procedures often use a probe positioning system to hold the ultrasonic transducer. [9] Compared to other medical imaging modalities, ultrasound has several ...

  5. Ultrasonic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_testing

    The transducer is typically separated from the test object by a couplant [4] such as a gel, oil or water, [1] as in immersion testing. However, when ultrasonic testing is conducted with an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) the use of couplant is not required. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform: reflection and ...

  6. Phased array ultrasonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array_ultrasonics

    The PA probe consists of many small ultrasonic transducers, each of which can be pulsed independently.By varying the timing, for instance by making the pulse from each transducer progressively delayed going up the line, a pattern of constructive interference is set up that results in radiating a quasi-plane ultrasonic beam at a set angle depending on the progressive time delay.

  7. Echo sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_sounding

    A single-beam echo sounder is one of the simplest and most fundamental types of underwater sonar. They are ubiquitous in the boating world and used on a number of different marine robotic vehicles. It operates by using a transducer to emit a pulse through the water and listen for echos to return.

  8. IEEE 1451 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1451

    IEEE 1451 is a set of smart transducer interface standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Instrumentation and Measurement Society's Sensor Technology Technical Committee describing a set of open, common, network-independent communication interfaces for connecting transducers (sensors or actuators) to microprocessors, instrumentation systems, and ...

  9. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Since the ultrasonic transducer is used both for transmitting and receiving the acoustic energy, it is subject to a period of mechanical vibration known as "ringing". This vibration must attenuate (stop) before the echoed signal can be processed. The net result is a distance from the face of the transducer that is blind and cannot detect an object.
