Acoustic couplers

Acoustic couplers are devices used to connect ultrasonic or other high-frequency signals between electronic equipment and the human body or other mediums. They work by transmitting sound waves through a medium—like a gel, water, or a solid material—that ensures efficient transfer of energy between the device probe and the area being examined or measured. This minimizes loss and improves signal clarity, making them essential in applications like ultrasound imaging and testing. In essence, acoustic couplers facilitate the effective transfer of sound waves between machines and the area of interest.
