Apodization functions

Functions

square_wave_apodization(n_el, block_size)

Returns a square wave apodization.

zea.backend.tensorflow.layers.apodization.square_wave_apodization(n_el, block_size)

Returns a square wave apodization.

Used for incoherent beamforming.

Parameters:

• n_el (int) – Total number of elements in array.

• block_size (float) – In terms of number of elements that will be high/low. Can be a float.

Returns:

array of size n_el.

Return type:

apod (ndarray)

Example

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

-1 -1 -1 -1

<———-> block_size = 4, n_el = 12
