A pulse signal is employed as a wideband reference signal Vr(t); and, in a pulse-echo measurement a corresponding wideband echo signal Ve(t) is obtained. A normalized loop frequency response {circumflex over (X)}(f) for the acoustic transducer is defined as a ratio of a Fourier Transform of the Ve(t) to a Fourier Transform of the Vr(t), and a normalized loop time response X(t) is defined as an Inverse Fourier Transform of the {circumflex over (X)}(f). An optimum drive signal B(t) for the acoustic transducer is defined as B(t)α*G(t), wherein a coefficient α is determined to multiply a function G(t), in which the function G(t) is derived from one of the normalized loop time response X(t) and the normalized loop frequency response {circumflex over (X)}(f)."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Method and system for determining an optimum drive signal for an acoustic transducer","description":"A method and system is disclosed for determining an optimum drive signal for an acoustic transducer.
