Abstract
Wave-based analog computing is a new computing paradigm heralded as a potentially superior alternative to existing digital computers. Currently, there are optical and low-frequency acoustic analog Fourier transformers. However, the former suffers from phase retrieval issues, and the latter is too physically bulky for integration into CMOS-compatible chips. This paper presents a solution to these problems: the Ultrasonic Fourier Transform Analog Computing System (UFT-ACS), a metalens-based analog computer that utilizes ultrasonic waves to perform Fourier transform calculations. Through wave propagation simulations on MATLAB, the UFT-ACS has been shown to calculate the Fourier transform of various input functions with a high degree of accuracy. Moreover, the optimal selection of parameters through sufficient zero padding and appropriate truncation and bandlimiting to minimize errors is also discussed.
