  • Abstract
    This paper presents a strategy to model a full cMUT-based linear array. All elements of the array, active and passive, are taken into account. Development focuses mainly on the introduction in our model of the longitudinal dispersive wave, which propagates only in the fluid and at the surface of arrays. Simulations are compared with experiments to assess model validity.
