(2) obtaining a reflection echo PR when ultrasonic wave is vertically incident on a three-medium and two-interface structure comprising coupling medium/the coating layer/a substrate based on the reflection coefficient r12 and the transmission coefficient t12 of the rough and weakly bonded interface:
 wherein, φ0 is initial phase, z0 is distance from a probe to an interface between the coupling medium and the coating layer, kw is a wave number in the coupling medium along an incident direction of acoustic wave, dc represents a thickness of the coating layer, kc represents wave number of the coating layer, rwc and rcs respectively represent reflection coefficients of the interface between the coupling medium and the coating layer and an interface between the coating layer and the substrate, and i represents imaginary part of the complex number;
(3) performing Fourier transform on the reflection echo PR to obtain real part Re(PR) and imaginary part Im(PR) in a frequency domain f, and then derive reflection echo phase spectrum (RPS) on the three-medium and two-interface structure, wherein Vw represents longitudinal wave velocity of the coupling medium and Vc represents longitudinal wave velocity of the coating layer;
 Wherein:
 (4) calculating first-order derivative of the RPS obtained in step (3) with respect to a frequency variable f, so as to obtain ultrasonic phase derivative spectrum (UPDS);
 (5) analyzing sensitivity S of the UPDS to a parameter p to be tested by using a sensitivity formula (7), where p represents three parameters which are thickness dc, roughness Rq and interface stiffness Kn of the coating layer; and determining high sensitivity ranges [dc-down˜dc-up], [Rqdown˜Rqup] and [Kn-down˜Kn-up] of thickness dc, roughness Rq and interface stiffness Kn of the coating layer based on 10% of a sensitivity extreme value Sextr;
 (6) obtaining acoustic velocities Vw, Vc, Vs and densities ρw, ρc, ρs of the coupling medium, the coating layer and the substrate respectively, based on a ultrasonic transit time method and a Archimedean drainage method;
(7) collecting reflection echo PR(t) from the interface between the coupling medium and the coating layer and the interface between the coating layer and the substrate, wherein ultrasonic wave passes through the coupling medium and is incident to the interface between the coupling medium and the coating layer and the interface between the coating layer and the substrate;
(8) performing a Fourier transform on the reflection echo PR(t) collected in step (7) to obtain experimental ultrasonic phase derivative spectrum UPDSexp(f) at a corresponding position of the coating sample;
