Comparison of Several Methods of Calculating Piston Velocities of an Array in Reception

摘要

A comparison is made among three methods of computing piston velocities of an array in reception. These methods are: (1) the exact solution, (2) a solution based on an original assumption of equal velocity magnitudes, and (3) an iterative solution. Numerical comparison among solutions is made for a linear array and a conformal array. (Author)
