The Use of the Transfer Function and Impulse Response in Acoustic Scattering Problems.

Abstract

Basic ideas of linear system theory are applied to acoustic scattering problems. A transfer function and an impulse response for general scattering bodies are found both analytically and experimentally. The relationship between target strength and the transfer function is considered. Explosive pulses are discussed briefly. (Author)
