| Abstract | Simulation of non-linear fields is most often restricted to single element, circularly symmetric sources, which is not used in clinical scanning. To obtain a general and valuable simulation, array transducers of any geometry with any excitation, focusing, and apodization should be modeled. Field II is restricted to simulate these for the linear case and the purpose of this paper is to develop a general frame work for extending it to non-linear simulation. The extension to the non-linear domain is made by using the angular spectrum approach (ASA), where the field is calculated in a plane close to the transducer surface. This calculation is performed using Field II and, thus, includes modeling array transducers of any geometry with any excitation, focusing, and apodization. The propagation in the linear or non-linear medium is then performed using the angular spectrum approach. The first step in deriving this procedure is to find the accuracy of the approach for linear propagation, where the result can be validated using Field II simulations. The ASA calculations are carried out by 3D fast Fourier transform using Matlab, where lambda=2 is chosen as the spatial sampling rate to reduce aliasing errors. Zero-padding is applied to enlarge the source plane to a (4N - 1) times (4N - 1) matrix to overcome artifacts in terms of the circular convolution. The source plane covering an area of 9 times 9 $mm^{2}$ with N = 61 samples along both side, is 0.05 mm away from a 5 MHz planar piston transducer, which is simulated by Field II. To determine the accuracy, different sampling intervals and zero-paddings are compared and the errors are calculated with Field II as a reference. It can be seen that zero-padding with 4N - 1 and lambda=2 sampling can both reduce the errors from 25.7% to 12.9% for the near-field and from 18.1% to 5.8% for the far-field, and improve the price of an increase in computation time. The angular spectrum approach in combination with Field II opens for the possibility of simulating the non-linear acoustic propagation for any kind of array transducers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
