3. Apodization Narrow the width of the ultrasonic beam produced by the imaging transducer in order to improve the quality of ultrasonic images.
Suppress the side lobes of the beam in order to prevent their interference with the main imaging lobe of the beam.

5. Gaussian Apodization Gaussian function where e describes the degree of truncation (e = 8 for uniform excitation) and the circ function sets ?o(r1) to zero outside the transducer area. The pressure phasor ( p =j??oF) can be expressed as for on-axis observation points (r = 0) and any value of e
