  • Abstract
    Features of the randomly phased scheme and the constructive interference approach for focussed applicator systems are evaluated and compared from a practical point of view. A mathematical expression is given to estimate the depth location of a focal point that depends on the number of array elements. Constraints are indicated that limit the physical construction of such arrays and allow their application only for special purposes.
