Example 11: CW Pressure Field with Tissue Attenuation¶
Side-by-side CW fields of a 10 MHz linear array in water (lossless) and in brain tissue (causal power-law attenuation with Kramers–Kronig dispersion, α₀ = 0.59 dB/(cm·MHz^y), y = 1.3 — ITIS database values).
What you will learn¶
- Enabling causal attenuation:
Emission(alpha0=..., freq_power=...) - How attenuation reshapes a high-frequency focused beam
- Building a dB attenuation map: the map uses
fast_attenuation=True(TX-centre distance), whose brain/water ratio is exactly the smooth distance-dependent lossexp(−α·f^y·d). The per-element model cannot be used for this ratio: its per-element Kramers–Kronig dispersion shifts the interference fringes, so the pointwise ratio oscillates along the fringes.
