The backing 1 serves to absorb acoustic waves transmitted in the direction of the back of the ultrasonic transducer or reflected waves of acoustic/echo waves of the active element layer 2, in order to prevent interference with the result.
In ultrasound imaging, echo signals from the front are useful, and signals from the back direction are interference waves that need to be cancelled. Therefore, the backing 1 needs to be designed as an acoustic absorbing medium so that the acoustic energy radiated backward is almost completely consumed. The backing 1 is selected according to the specifications of the ultrasonic transducer, and the acoustic impedance and the acoustic absorption performance of the backing directly influence the technical specifications of the ultrasonic transducer, such as frequency bandwidth, sensitivity and the like.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the backing 1 is a sound absorbing material with an acoustic impedance below a second threshold. In this way, it is ensured that the backing 1 has a low acoustic impedance and thus a high sound absorption capacity with a low sound attenuation. The sound absorption material comprises epoxy resin, glass beads and tungsten powder, and can also comprise other components which are obtained by proportioning according to a preset proportion. Such as: the acoustic impedance of the backing is 2.5 megarayls (Mrayl), corresponding to an acoustic attenuation of 14.6 decibels (dB) per millimeter at a frequency of 3MHz of the acoustic signal.
The second threshold is determined according to a sound absorption index of the ultrasonic transducer, and the second threshold may be 3Mrayl, 2.8Mrayl, or the like, and a value of the second threshold is not limited in this embodiment.

In the application, the matching layer 3 comprises n layers, the impedance values of different matching layers are different, the impedance values of the matching layers are reduced layer by layer, and the impedance value of the active element layer 2 is larger than the impedance value of each matching layer; n is an integer greater than 1. In fig. 1, the value of n is taken as 3 for illustration, and in actual implementation, the value of n may be larger or smaller, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The impedance of each matching layer 3 is designed based on the quarter-wave impedance matching principle.
The first matching layer is a matching layer close to the active element layer 2, and the nth matching layer is a matching layer close to the lens layer 4 (i.e., a matching layer far from the active element layer 2).
Illustratively, n has a value of 3, and the impedance value of the 3-layer matching layer satisfies the following equation:
wherein Z ism1Is the impedance value of the first matching layer; zm2The impedance value of the second layer matching layer; zm3The impedance value of the third matching layer; zpIs the resistance value of the active element layer; zLIs the impedance value of the load.
Such as: the first matching layer is made of a first material having a first impedance value (e.g., 9.56Mrayl), and the first matching layer makes a transition between the impedance value of the active element layer 2 and the impedance value of the second matching layer; the second matching layer is made of a second material with a second impedance value (such as 4.7Mrayl), and the transition between the impedance value of the first matching layer and the impedance value of the third matching layer is realized; the third matching layer is made of a third material having a third impedance value, e.g. 2.16Mrayl, which provides a transition between the impedance value of the second matching layer and the impedance value of the lens layer.
The lens layer 4 is used to focus the sound field.
