Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a source that brings together concepts such as diffraction, spatial averaging and ultrasound I would have to say this monograph is a must have. The first chapter takes the reader into the basics of diffraction and ultrasound. More importantly, in the section that follows on can discover a short but indispensable review of past works related to the subject. What follows is a intense presentation of the Fourier equivalence of the arccos and Lommel diffraction formulations as an approximate pair. What is attractive in this section was that both the unfocused and focused case is presented. The remaining contents of the monograph deal with derivation of spatially averaged one-way and two-way diffraction for unfocused transducers. In both sections on can find a wealth of pictorial as well as mathematical analysis.
The best part about the monograph, is its intimate quality. It reads as a conversation, or a presentation. I very much appreciate that fluidity.

Scalar diffraction from a circular aperture is a ubiquitousproblem that arises in a variety of disciplines, such as optics(lenses), acoustics (speakers), electromagnetics (dish antennas), andultrasonics (piston transducers). The problem endures despitecenturies of research because each new generation of researchersrediscovers it and adds some novel insight or new result to theexisting literature. Scalar Diffraction from a Circular Aperturepromises a few new results and several novel insights, particularlywith regard to spatial averaging. Although the text emphasizesultrasonic diffraction, the results and insights developed are generaland may be applied to the many practical problems involving scalardiffraction from a circular aperture. Included are novel insights on mirror-image diffraction,autoconvolution diffraction, and coherent and incoherent averaging.Examples from ultrasonic imaging, a coherent imaging modality, areused to develop a fairly general theory that connects over a centuryof research on scalar diffraction from a circular aperture. Thematerial is based on a synthesis of mathematics, physical optics,linear systems theory, and scalar diffraction theory. Thus, engineers,scientists, mathematicians, and students working in optics, acoustics,antenna design, biomedical engineering, non-destructive testing, andastronomy will find Scalar Diffraction from a Circular Apertureinteresting, provocative, and useful.
