Tapering (mathematics)

In mathematics, physics, and theoretical computer graphics, tapering is a kind of shape deformation. Just as an affine transformation, such as scaling or shearing, is a first-order model of shape deformation, tapering is a higher order deformation just as twisting and bending. Tapering can be thought of as non-constant scaling by a given tapering function. The resultant deformations can be linear or nonlinear. To create a nonlinear taper, instead of scaling in x and y for all z with constants as in: let a and b be functions of z so that: An example of a linear taper is , and a quadratic taper . As another example, if the parametric equation of a cube were given by ƒ(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)), a nonlinear taper could be applied so that the cube's volume slowly decreases (or tapers) as the function moves in the positive z direction. For the given cube, an example of a nonlinear taper along z would be if, for instance, the function T(z) = 1/(a + bt) were applied to the cube's equation such that ƒ(t) = (T(z)x(t), T(z)y(t), T(z)z(t)), for some real constants a and b.

An introduction to Beamforming

This video talks about how we actually have more control over the shape of the beam than just adding additional elements or adjusting the position and orientation of the elements. We can also adjust the gain of the signal to each element and apply phase unevenly to each element, and that
