Abstract:When a plane acoustic wave impinges on a cylindrical array, the leading edge insonifics the first few elements of the array. As the wave front continues past the leading edge of the cylinder, more and more elements are insonified until all elements in the array are insonificd. The time between the first and last clement to be insonificd is called array "fill time." For a cylindrical array with a phase-shift beamformer, in which the insonifying pulse length is long compared to the fill time, the resultant beam … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
