It is the combination of specially designed transducers with the proper driver receiver instrumentation that has made air coupled ultrasonic inspection a valuable new.
Air ultrasonic ceramic transducers circuit.
Here ultrasonic sensors work as transmitter and receiver with short high frequency acoustic impulses in the range of approx.

Figure 6 shows the c scan of a carbon carbon break disk and figure 7 shows the c scan of solar honeycomb panel.
The reflected sound is then received by the sensor.
This technology is used for detection of objects in burglar alarms and automatic doors as well as for range measurement in automotive parking assistance systems.

Air ultrasonic ceramic transducer excitation home.
Ultrasonic sensors emit ultrasonic waves in the air that reflect off of objects.
In order to achieve a wide range of ultrasonic ranging it is required not only that the ultrasonic receiving circuit can amplify the weak signal reflected from the distant target but also that the strong signal reflected from the close target is amplified and not deformed which requires reception.
