Effect of Surface Waves from a Moving Object on Its Image During Reconstruction using Aperture Synthesis

Abstract

The reconstruction of an image of the cross section of a thin wire obtained by an ultrasonic detector in an aqueous medium at a frequency of 1.3 MHz with a monochromatic probing signal is considered. The image was reconstructed using a synthesized aperture by correlation processing of a trajectory Doppler signal with calculated reference trajectory signals from point objects. The disturbing effect of the ultrasonic wave reflected from the surface wave generated by the moving wire on the image reconstruction is taken into account. The results of reconstruction of the image of the wire cross-section from model and experimental trajectory signals in the presence of a surface wave are given.
