ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for recording acoustical holograms characterized by the transmitting transducers having a directional characteristic, a transducer, which is either the transmitting or the receiving transducer, is mounted for rotation about at least one and preferably two axes, and the apparatus includes a reflector, which has at least a parabolic cross section taken on a plane extending perpendicular to the one axis, surrounds the rotatable transducer. When using the rotatable transmitting transducer, a plurality of stationary receiving transducers are utilized and if the receiving transducer is mounted for rotation, a plurality of stationary transmitting transducers are provided. If the transducer is rotated at about a single axis, the reflector has an axis which is parallel to the axis of rotation so that the sound beams are focused into lines lying on a plane. If the transducer is rotated about two axes, the reflector is a parabolic reflector which focuses the sound beams emitted into points lying on the plane.
