Recently, antenna arrays with computer processing of acoustic signals with subsequent visualization of a test zone have been widely used in the control of ultrasound waves. The authors present the results of studies on the determination of the trajectory of ultrasound from a piezoelectric transducer to the chosen point of a test zone using analytical and numerical methods of calculation, both for linear and matrix antenna arrays. Based on the obtained equations, the results of the reconstruction of the test zone, comparison of productivity, and recommendations on their use are given.
