RESEARCH REPORT REPORT 1082 28 NOVEMBER 1961 DIRECTIVITY FUNCTION OF A GENERAL RECEIVING ARRAY FOR SPHERICAL AND PLANE SOUND WAVES K. K. Warner U.S. NAVY ELECTRONICS LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA A BUREAU OF SHIPS LABORATORY 7801 34OdeYy/ TAN THE PROBLEM Evolve sonar array designs to optimize beam formation with various types of conventional or novel arrays, with plane and curved wavefronts; and derive directivity functions for general arrays which may be very large in terms of wave- lengths, and may have an arbitrary distribution of elements. The elements may be arranged discretely or continuously; the arrays may be one-, two-, ar three-dimensional. RESULTS Expressions are presented which allow the determination of directivity patterns for any kind of array, conventional or novel. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Employ the general directivity function to find array directivity patterns not now available. 2. Program the general directivity function for an electronic computer.

It had a twofold purpose: first, to show that previous work on array directivity functions can be subsumed under a more general method, and, second, to bring together results that are scattered throughout the literature. The advantages of the general results of this report are that the directivity pattern can be determined for any distance and direction of the sound source from the array, and for any geometrical configuration of the array. PART I - GENERAL THEORY 1. Discrete Distribution of Elements If the source of the sound wave is at a distance D from the origin of the array, then the sound wave will be spherical in shape when arriving at the array. Furthermore, the sound wave will expand radially from its source. Let (x0, Yo. Zo) be the coordinates of the source with respect to the origin of the array. Let (x;,y;,2;) be the coordi- nates of the 7'% element of the array. A unit vector in the direction of the line joining (0, 0, 0) and (xo, Yo» 20) will be (cosa, cosb, cosy), the direction cosines of the line. Then, from figure 1, the phase difference with respect to the origin from the 7°" element is ae + + + = a, # [ x, cosa y, Coss Zz, Cosy p, (cosy, 1)] (1) where & = Zing and } is the wavelength of the incoming sound wave.

The response of the see element is by definition 7,exp(jwt) - exp( jo ,). * (See list of references at end of report. ) Letting the time variation factor of the response equal 1, the response becomes PR. = Hexp jo, If a direction defined by the unit vector (cosq,, COS85, COSy7o ) should be compensated for, the response of the 7t4 element becomes R, = H,exp je, expr 8, = £,exp j(6,-6, ,) 1K The directivity function is by definition” Vv Vv R= ye = \ Eexp j( 8% ;) oil BA Al that is, the sum of the responses of the elements. Hence, compensating for a spherical wave, the directivity function for a finite number of discrete elements is *Page 15 of reference 2. **This function is also known as the directional characteristic or the beam pattern of the array.

This can be shown by use of L'H6pital'S rule’ 2. Continuous Distribution of Elements By a continuous distribution of elements, it is meant that the elements are in a region of space where they are every- where contiguous and dense.

These functions are wéighting factors such that if properly chosen will produce a high main lobe and low side lobes in a given directivity function.™ If E(x, y, Zz) = 1 or 1g C= 1, then the equations reduce to the case of an unshaded array (i.e., all elements equally weighted). So far the directivity function has been concerned principally with the effect of phase differences. However, the sound pressure will also affect the pattern in that it decreases with distance from the source. This effect can be taken care of, in the continuous distribution case, by letting sles Pd hi D E (x,y) =4 (x, y) G5) Then, the uncompensated directivity function is given by p= | awl, Woy fexps1D-olx, we y) XH» | In the above equation, w(x, y) is a shading factor, CS is a weighting factor that takes account of the decrease in sound pressure amplitude with distance from the source, and D-o(x, y), the exponent of the exponential function, is the phase difference of the element at (x, 1) with respect to the origin. There is a corresponding, similar result for the discrete distribution case: N = D ; — R )) Dy exp jz[D p, | ae @ Y D In most applications a 1, so that F(x, y)~wls, y). Thus this correction factor for the decrease of sound pressure amplitude is absorbed into the factor 7x, y). *Reference 2, page 16, and reference 3, page 15. **This treatment is for the 2-dimensional array, but it can be extended to 3 dimensions. In either case, a spheri- cal wave is incident on the array. 14 In order to ascertain when this correction term can be approximated by unity, consider the sound pressure ata distance o(x, y) from a point source emitting spherical waves; then the sound pressure is given by - = -00 kCA 0 Hi 40 3K Py = Ge, peers Lue: kote, yt 9 where the symbols have the meaning ascribed to them in the nomenclature.

Also, the direction cosines expressed in spherical coordi- nates are cosa = sinycosy cos8 = sinysiny cos y = cosy Where y is the angle measured from the x-axis to projec- tion of the unit vector (cosa, cos8, cosy) on the x-y plane.

This is to be expected since an uncompensated spherical array would not favor any parti- cular direction, because of its symmetry. This result corresponds to the fact that a circular array, if uncom- pensated, has a constant response for a plane wave arriv- ing in the plane of the array.

A simple method of evalua- ting it is to expand the Bessel function into its series and then integrate term by term. (For further details see remarks in Appendix C.) Another method of approxima- tion is to place a sufficient number of discrete elements on the spherical surface and use the formula for the direc- tivity function of a discrete element array for reception of planar sound waves (the limit of equation (3) as D-=).

Since Hexp(j6) = Feos6+ j#sin§ and each function satisfies the condition of the theorem, and since integration is a linear process, the claim of Part I, Section 2(b) is seen to be true.

APPENDIX C: FORMULAS FOR EVALUATION OF CERTAIN INTEGRALS The recursion relationships used in evaluating the integrals (15a), (15b), (15c) are proved by using mathematical induc- tion.

Since the integrals involved often contain Bessel functions in the integrand, or some other function that must be expanded in an infinite series in order to evaluate the integrals, two conditions must be satisfied before the integral can be evaluated: 1. The infinite series must be uniformly convergent, and the individual terms must be continuous. 2. The limits of integration must be within the interval of convergence of the series. All the integrands treated in this report satisfy these con- ditions when term-by-term integration is employed. Furthermore, if the series is an alternating series that is monotone nonincreasing, that is uniformly convergent on its interval of convergence, then the error after trun- cating the series after n terms is majorized by the magnitude of the (n+1)th term. This is a convenient method of judging the error. 45 46 APPENDIX D: PERTURBED CYLINDRICAL WAVE FRONT The function A(r,@) = r+g(g) represents the wave front of a radially expanding cylindrical wave emitted from the source P(x, yo) after some time ¢ (fig. D1). If g(g) = 0, then A(r, g) = r which is a cylindrical wave front inthe plane. The quantities r and g are defined in the &y coordinate system. Y A SOURCE P(x0 , Yo ) ELEMENT (xc, , y,) Figure Dl.
