One of the issues associated with such development is the problem of acquiring high-resolution results. In this article, the application Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates is considered for solving this problem. Such acoustic lenses can solve the task of high-resolution results acquisition by using a single unfocused transducer. Furthermore, Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates can provide the desired focusing depth with the fixed thickness of the coupling layer. It is important in the case of application of devices which provide localized coupling. In this paper a proper design of Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plate was determined according to the conditions of planned experiments. Its efficiency was verified via the Finite Element Method modeling. In all performed experiments the relative error of flaws size estimation did not exceed 6% whereas the signal-to-noise ratio was not lower than 17.1 dB. Thus, experimental results demonstrate that the application of Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates allowed to obtain results with high lateral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. These results demonstrate the reasonability of the development of devices that provide localized coupling and use Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21237792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T01:45:02Z","timestamp":1638323102000},"page":"7792","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Application of Phase-Reversal Fresnel Zone Plates for High-Resolution Robotic Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1789-1519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitry O.","family":"Dolmatov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Non-Destructive Testing, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 7 Savinykh Street, 634028 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9986-0884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Tarraz\u00f3-Serrano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Tecnolog\u00edas F\u00edsicas, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Cam\u00ed de Vera s\/n, 46022 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2321-7467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"German A.","family":"Filippov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Non-Destructive Testing, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 7 Savinykh Street, 634028 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2005-2305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Uris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Tecnolog\u00edas F\u00edsicas, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Cam\u00ed de Vera s\/n, 46022 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9300-1392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitry A.","family":"Sednev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 30 Lenin Avenue, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Cuevas, E., Hernandez, S., and Cabellos, E.
