border the transducer • Antenna shape will be determined by
the transducer design• Electromagnetic energy (noise) is
received for removal with a differential amplifier circuit

Market Analysis• Frequently used couplants used for
transmission– Oil, glycerin, and water– Success with air can open a new market of devices
• Possible Device Users– Aviation/Aerospace companies; Boeing, Lockheed
Martin, NASA• NASA Space Shuttle
– Currently uses Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI)
• Only provides superficial data• Air Coupled Ultrasonics (ACU) provides information deeper
than the surface
