The problem endures despite  centuries of research because each new generation of researchers  rediscovers it and adds some novel insight or new result to the  existing literature. \u003cem\u003eScalar Diffraction from a Circular Aperture\u003c\/em\u003e  promises a few new results and several novel insights, particularly  with regard to spatial averaging. Although the text emphasizes  ultrasonic diffraction, the results and insights developed are general  and may be applied to the many practical problems involving scalar  diffraction from a circular aperture. \u003cbr\u003e  Included are novel insights on mirror-image diffraction,  autoconvolution diffraction, and coherent and incoherent averaging.  Examples from ultrasonic imaging, a coherent imaging modality, are  used to develop a fairly general theory that connects over a century  of research on scalar diffraction from a circular aperture. The  material is based on a synthesis of mathematics, physical optics,  linear systems theory, and scalar diffraction theory. Thus, engineers,  scientists, mathematicians, and students working in optics, acoustics,  antenna design, biomedical engineering, non-destructive testing, and  astronomy will find \u003cem\u003eScalar Diffraction from a Circular Aperture\u003c\/em\u003e  interesting, provocative, and useful.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792378105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4443-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578394075276,"sku":"9780792378105","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792378105.jpg?v=1770781953","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792378105","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
