title: Efficient angular spectrum decomposition of acoustic sources. II. Results.
abstract: For pt.I see ibid., vol.40, no.3, p.238-49 (1993). Results of angular spectrum computations are presented for three applications: general decomposition, pressure field calculation, and modeling of pulse-echo measurements. Wherever possible, analytical (exact) results are used as reference for the decomposition results. This permits the accuracy of the angular spectrum decomposition to be evaluated for specific choices of M and N where M is the number of samples across the maximum characteristic length, d, of the source region and N is the total number of samples along each side of the source decomposition plane, and for both sampling techniques. Based on the results for the three applications, guidelines for choosing M and N are presented in a graphical format.
