A linear ultrasound transducer array has 101 transducers, each having width d = 0.1 mm, that are separated by h = 0.1 mm. Assume the simple field pattern geometry of Figure 10.5 and c = 1, 540 m/s.

(a) What is the maximum frequency at which the transducers can operate and still generate a plane wave at angle θ = 30°?

(b) How long will it take to sequence through the array in order to generate the plane wave in part (a)?
