Abstract
Annular phased array transducers are well known in the medical field, with their main use being in ophthalmology and dermatology, and have started to be employed in the NDT industry relatively recently. They have a unique geometry and can focus at great depths into a material with both a symmetric and circular focal point. This paper tries to broaden the existing knowledge of these unique types of transducers. The paper starts with the necessary fundamentals and provides near field calculations for two different annular array probe configurations. The importance of this work relates to the limitations of the conventional equation to annular arrays. A major contribution is the generation of a novel equation for near field calculation for annular arrays. Validation of the novel near field equation has been carried out computationally, for both individual elements as well as different aperture sizes.
