摘要：

An Investigation Into the development of an ultrasound Imaging system capable of custornization for multiple applications via the tessellation of in-system programmable scalable modules, or tiles, Is presented here. Each tile contains an Individual ultrasonic array, operating at +/-3.3V, which can be assembled Into a larger 'mosaic' of multiple tiles to create arrays of any size or shape. The ability to form an imaging system from generic building blocks which are physically Identical for manufacturing purposes yet functionally unique via programming to suit the application has many potential benefits in the field of ultrasonics. The system Is primarily targeted at underwater sonar and non-destructive testing, as defined by the current excitation frequency, but the concept is equally applicable to applications In biomedical ultrasound.
