Simple Acoustic Receiver (SAR)
● Review need, requirements, desires, and concerns
● Thoughts on components
･ Clocks
･ Controller/storage
･ Navigation
● Combining into a system
Simple acoustic receiver Why?
● Permit more economical tomography/thermometry experiments and more widespread participation
● Model divide total cost between sources and receivers to minimize cost while maximizing number of paths (one expensive source deserves many inexpensive receivers)
SAR requirements, desires, Concerns
