If you are interested in what values are used in practice, you can often get these from the manufacturers' websites or in the literature.</p> <p>Hope that helps,</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/linear-array-transducer-design#post-3772 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:14:56 +0000 hilariovg 3772@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am at the point of designing the transducer but I don't know exactly which parameters I should use. I am talking about the width, kerf, height of each element of the linear array.<br /> I have been reading some information about it but it is not clear at all. In some papers I have read that the width should be 1/2 wavelength. In others I have read that the pitch shouldn't be larger than 1/2 wavelength, etc.<br /> Is there any rule to choose such values?</p> <p>Thank you for your help. </p>
