Abstract :
Two novel schemes of data acquisition in synthetic aperture ultrasonic imaging systems using a linear array transducer are presented to solve the troublesome grating lobe problem. Simulation and experimental results show that in both schemes the grating lobes are significantly reduced without appreciable degradation of the main lobe characteristics.
