Abstract

Well-known methods for broadband generation of ultrasonic waves in a propagating medium is the so-called backing method. The forward quarterwavelength ( λ/4) adaptation and the electrical impedance to the internal impedance generator induce (or lead) also to increase the broadband1,2,3,4.
