摘要

This paper investigates the properties of highly thinnednultrawideband (UWB) arrays. The design aim is high resolution and verynlow side radiation levels (SL). One- and two-dimensional ultrasparse UWBnarrays can be designed to achieve both. The minimum available pulse-echonSL is shown to approach N-4 where N is the number of elementsnin the transmit and receive arrays. Periodic thinning is shown to bensuperior to random thinning, and amplitude taper is shown to raise thenSL. Two-dimensional curvilinear deployment of elements are shown tonoutperform rectilinear designs, and different transmit and receivenarrays in pulse-echo systems are shown to outperform systems that usenthe same array for transmit and receive. Very low SL is achievable in annultrasparse UWB system with so few elements that echo signal-to-noisenratio (SNR) rather than SL becomes the constraint on the minimum numbernof elements required by the system for the array to be useful fornimaging. For example, in ultrasonic pulse-echo breast imaging, SLn≈-70 dB is desired to distinguish small cysts from tumors. A 2-Dnrandomly thinned array requires about 10,000 elements. A 2-D ultrasparsenUWB periodic array requires less than 100 to satisfy SL, a reduction ofn100:1, but provides insufficient SNR. A 500-element, 7.5 MHz arraynoperating with 4 cm penetration depth satisfies both. Experimentalnresults demonstrate the theory
