Abstract
Systems and methods for improved ultrasonic testing are provided. An ultrasonic testing system can include an ultrasonic probe and an ultrasonic controller in electrical communication with the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe can include a plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The ultrasonic controller can be configured to generate one or more driving signals operative to cause the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to generate respective ultrasonic waves. A combination of the ultrasonic waves can form an ultrasonic waveform having one or more characteristics specified by the one or more driving signals. The ultrasonic controller can be further configured to change the one or more driving signals to adjust at least one characteristic of the ultrasonic waveform.
