An apparatus for evaluating performance of an ultrasonic transducer includes a transducer assembly having an ultrasonic transducer and an acoustic medium and configured to transmit and receive an ultrasonic wave, a storage unit configured to store a reference signal value which represents the performance of the ultrasonic transducer, and a processing unit configured to control the transducer assembly to emit ultrasonic wave and receive a response (echo) signal thereto to measure a magnitude or energy amount of the response signal, the processing unit comparing a measured value with the reference signal value stored in the storage unit to evaluate the performance of the ultrasonic transducer.
