Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Spiral Phased Array for High-Precision Beamforming and Imaging

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2022
Sparse spiral phased arrays are advantageous for many emerging air-coupled ultrasonic applications, since grating lobes are prevented without being constrained to the half-wavelength element spacing requirement of well-known dense arrays.

Prototyping Airborne Ultrasonic Arrays

open access: yes, 2022
Focused ultrasound is the base mechanism for mid-air tactile feedback generation, acoustic levitation, wireless power transfer, directional audio and other emerging applications. The basic required set-up is an ultrasonic emitter with the capability of focusing its acoustic power at a target point. Ideally, a multi-emitter phased array is used since it

Investigation of ultrasonic array defrosting method based on synergism of standing wave intermittent phase-stagger and multi-frequency for finned-tube evaporator

open access: yes, 2020
Frost dramatically deteriorates the operating performance of an air source heat pump unit and leads to additional energy consumption. Results of our previous study show that intermittent ultrasonic vibration can greatly improve the coefficient of ...
