摘要: In the impulse response method Rayleigh integral is converted from a 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional [1]. This assumes that diffraction has been derived for transducer shape used. described simulator, this not One of reasons it desirable be quickly able analyze new shapes. could also done using by subdividing radiating plane into smaller basic subtransducers with known [4]. However field in an inhomoge-
