摘要:
An ultrasonic imaging system includes a micro-acoustic source configured to generate a broadband ultrasonic pulse. The ultrasonic imaging system further includes an acoustic leaky-wave antenna configured to use a frequency dependent angular dispersion to simultaneously collect reflected signals from multiple angles of the broadband ultrasonic pulse, wherein the reflected signals contain information about a surrounding medium. The ultrasonic imaging system further includes a sensor operationally coupled to the acoustic leaky-wave antenna, the sensor configured to detect the reflected signals collected by the acoustic leaky-wave antenna.
