A design procedure is described for acoustic transducer arrays suitable for focused acoustic imaging systems. The criteria governing the choice of the width of the individual elements of the array and for broadband matching are discussed. Experimental results on 2.5 MHz arrays are given and are in good agreement with theory.

The use of digital techniques in acoustic imaging is receiving a great deal of attention due to the power and flexibility of digital signal processing as well as its steadily decreasing cost. In this paper we describe the theory and preliminary experimental results for a digital synthetic aperture imaging system which uses one or more transmit/receive cycles to gather data for reconstructing an entire image. The system uses quadrature frequency conversion prior to digitization to reduce the data rate and storage requirements. Using this approach, an imaging instrument design is presented that has the capability of reconstructing images in real time in TV format without conventional scan conversion. Freeze frame is also possible although no image memory is required.

Abstract The visual nature of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) makes it a very natural technology that can assist with fault location in BGA packages, which typically have complex interweaving layouts that make standard failure analysis techniques, such as acoustic imaging and X-ray, less effective and more difficult to utilize. This article discusses the use of TDR for package failure analysis work. It analyzes in detail the TDR impedance deconvolution algorithm as applicable to electronic packaging fault location work, focusing on the opportunities that impedance deconvolution and the resulting true impedance profile opens up for such work. The article examines the TDR measurement accuracy and the comparative package failure analysis, and presents three main considerations for package failure analysis. It also touches upon the goal and the task of the failure analysts and TDR's specific signatures for the open and short connections.
