Abstract :
A numerical technique, especially efficient in the simulation of line response, is proposed for the fast calculation of pulse echoes in arbitrarily shaped ultrasound transducers. The simulation result obtained by the proposed calculation method shows good agreement with experiment at several observing depths.
