Abstract
Ideal image systems of holographic or lens type should have similar performance, given similar aperture/wavelength ratios. However, practical acoustic image systems introduce amplitude and phase nonlinearities, noise, and geometric distortion at different points in the system. Computer simulation of a holographic and a lens type system of limited aperture/wavelength ratios has been made to emphasize the differences in subjective image quality introduced by such effects as diffraction, undersampling, saturation, and system noise.
