gpfksimulator is intended to be an educational tool. It is a graphical interface displaying the array response function for a superposition of multiple plane waves crossing some given array geometry.
Usage
When starting gpfksimulator a file browser will open and you are requested to locate a multi-column ASCII file containing position coordinates of an array setting. As described in warangps section on loading coordinates a flexible parser will allow you to adjust to you own ASCII file formats.
As in warangps, the array response function will be immediately computed and displayed, however, this time not for a vertically incident plane wave (impinging on the array configuration from below with ), but for a plane wave with parameters as given in the first table line. On default, a harmonic signal propagating at a wave speed of 300 m/s at a signal frequency of 1 Hz and a propagation direction of . Note that a black circle will overlaid to the wavenumber map similar to the display in the wavenumber browser window in FK and HRFK toolboxes.
You can edit any entry in the table row to change the signal propagation properties like wave speed and direction of wave propagation. Note that when changing the azimuth of propagation and distance, the X and Y columns will change accordingly. X and Y specify the source location with respect to the array center. Units are degrees for angles and meters for distance, m/s for velocities. Amplitude and phase of the harmonic function can be changed, but will have no effect on the appearance as long as there is only a single signal crossing the array configuration. The frequency of the harmonic signal can be changed on the left with the Frequency spin box.
For mimicking plane wave arrivals the distance parameter should be set to at least 3 times the array radius (see report D19.06 and D24.13. Note that there is an option to specify damping via the spin box for the Attenuation factor (Q). For a single plane wave will not expect any influence of this parameter except for very large array settings and very low Q-values. For multiple plane wave arrivals, the Q-value will control the relative amplitude contribution of any plane wave at the array. To suppress the influence of this setting, use the default value of Q of 10000 (elastic case).
In order to observe better the influence of grating / side lobes and the trade off with selecting a limit for grid computation (grid_size parameter in FK and HRFK methods), you can make use of the last spin box FK Grid size. It will modify the transparent layer shadowing the parts of the wavenumber map exceeding this limit.
You can now add a second plane wave by pushing the Add button. A new table row will appear copying the properties of the first signal. As above, you may edit any column to change signal properties of this second signal.
