The　conventional　vector　total　focusing　method　only　uses　the　signal　amplitude　information,　resulting　in　the　imaging　quality　very　affected　by　the　noise,　grating　lobes,　side　lobes　and　so　on.　In　this　paper,　the　signal　amplitude　and　phase　information　are　used　together,　and　then　puts　forward　two　kinds　of　phase　weighting　vector　total　focusing　method.　First,　It　is　based　on　an　analysis　of　the　phase　information　at　the　full　matrix　data,　two　phase　feature　parameters,　namely　the　phase　coherence　factor　(PCF)　and　the　sign　coherence　factor　(SCF)　are　proposed;　Then,　the　whole　array　is　divided　into　a　number　of　sub-arrays,　using　the　two　phase　feature　parameters　to　weight　the　imaging　amplitude　and　consequently　to　get　the　weighted　amplitude　feature　vector;　finally,　compounding　the　weighted　amplitude　feature　vector　of　all　subarrays,　the　new　method　for　characterizing　reflectors　is　presented,　that　is　phase　weighting　vector　total　focusing　method.　In　the　simulation　and　experiment,　above　three　kinds　of　vector　total　focusing　methods　was　applied　to　defects　detection.　It　turned　out　that　the　three　methods　can　all　achieve　direction　recognition　and　length　quantitative　measurement　of　defects,　but　the　phase　weighting　method　results　is　obviously　superior　to　the　conventional　method　results,　the　methods　obtain　improvements　in　SNR　and　resolution,　and　the　direction　and　length　measurement　of　defects　are　more　accurate.　The　research　work　for　the　defect　non-destructive　evaluation　provides　a　feasible　method.　©　2017　Acta　Acustica.
