Sound Field Measurement Service

Comprehensive ultrasound field measurement service for medical, industrial and research-grade

We offer a comprehensive ultrasound field measurement service for medical, industrial and research-grade ultrasonic transducers and systems. All tests are performed using calibrated hydrophones, automated scanning systems and data acquisition software compliant with relevant standards (IEC 62127, IEC 60601, etc.).

Our measurement services:

Frequency & Signal Analysis

  • Determining the working frequency of a pulsed signal
  • Measuring frequency in continuous wave (CW) mode using successive half cycles
  • Waveform capture and spectral analysis for diagnostic purposes

Beam and Focal Parameter Characterization

  • Measuring focal distance, focal zone size, and beam shape
  • Determining beam width (e.g., -6 dB, -20 dB) and beam area
  • Measurement of peak positive and negative pressure, pulse intensity integral , and temporal average intensity

Pressure Measurements at Specific Locations

  • Precise measurement of acoustic pressure at user-defined locations in the field (e.g., at focal point, at tissue-mimicking boundary or near sensitive components)

Acoustic Indices Calculation

  • Mechanical Index (MI) – critical for safety evaluation
  • Thermal Index (TI) – estimation of thermal

Sound Field Scanning

  • 2D and 3D automated scanning of the pressure field
  • Generation of pressure maps, intensity maps and beam profiles
  • Export in standard formats for modeling or documentation

Certification & Reporting

  • Full measurement certificate with:
    • Device ID and operating mode
    • Summary of acoustic parameters
    • Compliance references (e.g., IEC/ISO)
  • Visual documentation of pressure and intensity fields
