Measurement of reflected second harmonics and nonlinearity parameter using a transducer with complex

Measurement of nonlinearity parameter using the second-harmonic reflective model is studied. A new kind of compound transducer is designed and fabricated for this purpose. With this transducer and the finite amplitude insert-substitution method, an experimental system to measure the nonlinearity parameter using reflective model is developed. B/A values of some liquids and biological tissues are obtained and results coincide well with those presented in the literatures.
