Therefore, its necessity for the secure operation as well as the technical and economic benefits for the German power system are pointed out. The single sections describe…

The remarkable presence of side lobes levels in ultrasound B-mode imaging significantly decreases the image quality. Therefore, the use of an apodization function is of great importance. Linear windowing functions are among the most efficient techniques used to optimize antenna directivity by suppression of the side lobes. However, the apodization causes the degradation of lateral…
