Abstract
An important criterion in the design of transducer array elements for acoustic imaging is the angular response, or the far‐field radiation pattern, of a single element. In this letter, we show that the widely accepted formula for the angular response function is inadequate and must be multiplied by cosϑ. Good agreement with experiment is then obtained.Keywords
