How to code ultrasonic beam propagation

[chiraganand]

Does anyone have an open source code or know how to code propagation of multi gaussian beams through multiple interfaces using the ABCD matrix approach? And this is using ultrasound and not optics. Please let me know if anyone can help out in this

This article talks about using MATLAB to code the model:

By researching the authors you might be able to get a copy of the MATLAB code.

Here's a presentation related to it:

Thank you.. it isn't much of a help though.. I have been through these docs

Pehaps you can contact the authors and see if they know of some open source code otherwise you will have to write it yourself.

Writing it isn't so bad, first you need to understand how to do it manually and from there write down the steps you take then continue to refine each step until it become obvious how to write the program.
