Abstract
This paper presents an inversion for an echo imaging system that utilizes the motion of a single element transducer (SET) to synthesize the effect of a phased array with a size equal to the path length that the SET traverses [3]-[5]. A mobile SET, with a dimension much smaller than a phased array’s size, brings flexibility in data acquisition and processing for echo imaging systems. Synthetic aperture echo imaging also open ways for imaging an object that cannot be studied with phased arrays due to constraints imposed by the object’s anatomy.
