Abstract

An extension to the angular spectrum approach for modelling pressure fields of a cylindrically curved array transducer is described in this paper. The proposed technique is based on representing the curved transducer surface as a set of planar elements whose contributions are combined at a selected intermediate plane from which the field is further propagated using the conventional angular spectrum approach. The accuracy of the proposed technique is validated through comparison with Field II simulations
