Short Description
Evaluation and tuning of ultrasonic transducer performances can be realized with the help of a test bench. This setup consists of a physical test bed with the transducer and associated components such as a vector network analyzer, amplifiers and electrical matching networks. A virtual environment models the behavior of these networks. Individual network blocks are built and cascaded as single blackbox models using Python scikit-rf
Due to the intended modularity of the system in software and hardware, we can guarantee a high flexibility of the setup. This means that the system can be adapted in operation for a wide variety of transducer types and setups.
