16.6 Transducer Arrays 471Figure 16.8. Various configurations of array elements and the corresponding regionsscanned by the acoustic beam: (a) sequential linear array scanning a rectangular region;(b) curvilinear array scanning a sectored region; (c) linear-phased array sweeping a sectoredregion; (d) 1.5D array scanning a sectored region; and (e) 2D array sweeping a pyramidalregion.elements have high sensitivity when beam is directed straight out. The disadvantageis that the field of view is limited to the rectangular region directly facingthe transducer. Linear-array transducers also require a large footprint to obtain asufficiently wide field of view. Another type of array configuration is that of the
