Popis: Abstract The recent emerging alternative to classic numerical Fast Fourier transform (FFT) computation, based on GHz ultrasonic waves generated from and detected by piezoelectric transducers for wavefront computing (WFC), is more efficient and energy-saving. In this paper, we present comprehensive studies on the modeling and simulation methods for ultrasonic WFC computation. We validate the design of the WFC system using ray-tracing, Fresnel diffraction (FD), and the full-wave finite element method (FEM). To effectively simulate the WFC system for inputs of 1-D signals and 2-D images, we verified the design parameters and focal length of an ideal plano-concave lens using the ray-tracing method. We also compared the analytical FFT solution with our Fourier transform (FT) results from 3-D and 2-D FD and novel 2-D full wave FEM simulations of a multi-level Fresnel lens with 1-D signals and 2-D images as inputs. Unlike the previously reported WFC system which catered only for 2-D images, our proposed method also can solve the 1-D FFT effectively. We validate our proposed 2-D full wave FEM simulation method by comparing our results with the theoretical FFT and Fresnel diffraction method. The FFT results from FD and FEM agree well with the digitally computed FFT, with computational complexity reduced from $$O(N^2 logN)$$ O ( N 2 l o g N ) to O(N) for 2-D FFT, and from O(NlogN) to O(N) for 1-D FFT with a large number of signal sampling points N.
