The maximum frequency that can be represented on the spatial grid is the Nyquist limit of c_min/(2*dx) where dx is the grid spacing. In this particular example, the grid spacing is 180 um which means the maximum supported frequency is around 4 MHz. If you set your source frequency to 3 MHz and run a nonlinear simulation, the high-frequency harmonics that are generated will not be supported by the grid, and will instead be aliased to lower frequencies making your results incorrect.</p> <p>Essentially, if you want to use higher frequencies in the simulation, you need to decrease the grid spacing.</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions for MATLAB crashing - I hope you can find a solution!</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/changing-the-frequency-of-source#post-1105 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:05:18 +0000 yrpnova 1105@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hi. I want to change the frequency of the US source in the bmode_linear_transducer example from 1.5 to 3MHz. When I changed the value of tone_burst_freq to 3e6, it seems that I get a signal that is not correct.</p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/443/54888411.png" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/443/54888411.png</a><br /> which is clearly not centered around 3MHz.</p> <p>Even the bmode image looks very off</p> <p><a href="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2748/31561673.png" rel="nofollow">http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2748/31561673.png</a></p> <p>Is there anything else I'm supposed to change in the code to accommodate the new frequency?</p> <p>I tried playing around with the defining_transducer example to see if I could find out what the problem was but as soon as I changed tone_burst_freq to 3e6, MATLAB would crash immediately after the program finished running. O_O Now it will crash even after setting the value back to 0.5e6. I tried reinstalling matlab too but the problem still persists.</p> <p>Please help (I need help with bmode example more than defining_transducer example). </p>
