While finishing this up, I realized the calculation of the spread in the original path was incorrect (and that mistake propagated to the factored version): the spread is being calculated as 
This effect was partially hiding behind the fact that the elevation lens wasn't modeled, so in a 2D-simulation, everything was close to correct; amplitude decayed approximately a factor The good news is that this makes the exact path factorizable, so the three simulator modes drop back to two fast ones. The bad new is that this PR just became a lot harder to review. I've pushed an updated/cleaned up version that collapses the |

as a static JAX jit argument, preventing traced-value failures in simulate_rf

runs Simulate with elevation_lens=True and jit_compile=True on the JAX backend.

- Around line 366-379: Refactor the fast-path computation around
_simulate_transmit and _scatter_spike_map to process scatterers in chunks,
computing base_gain and two_way_time per chunk and accumulating each chunk
directly into the spike map. Avoid retaining the full (n_scat, n_el, n_el)
intermediate tensors, while preserving the existing simulation results and
accumulation behavior.
- Around line 594-607: Update the docstring of select_elevation_slab to remove
the claim that it is jittable and clarify that it drops scatterers using a
dynamically sized boolean selection; identify elevation_slab_mask as the
traceable, static-shape variant.
- Around line 504-527: Update get_pulse_waveform to validate that n_samples is
large enough to contain the Hann support, whose required sample span is n_period
* sampling_frequency / center_frequency; raise an explicit error when the fixed
sample count would truncate the pulse, while preserving the existing waveform
generation for valid inputs.
- Around line 182-198: Replace the mean-based record gate in the transmit loop
with a conservative per-scatterer worst-case round-trip bound, preserving the
factored implementation without allocating an element-pair tensor; gate a
scatterer out only when its maximum possible round-trip time exceeds
record_length. Update the within_record calculation near round_trip_time and add
a regression check for a scatterer near maximum depth verifying no wrapped
early-time energy appears.

The physics fixes in c8301f9 and 2ee5024 are breaking changes that belong in their own PR (simulator_new_spread). This restores the simulator to 23b6483 so this PR is only the fast/factored implementation, and adds the fish-phantom tests from the reverted work, covering exact, factored and fast. Keeps the float32 cast of the scatterer cloud, since tensorflow will not promote the float64 phantoms against the float32 parameters.

Currently, the simulator is nearly factorizable into tx->scatterer and rx->scatterer paths, except for the spread term (which contains 1/(dist_rx + dist_tx), meaning it can't factor). That means the whole thing has to compile to a giant nested loop over all tx elements, all rx elements, all frequencies and all scatterers, with a lot of the computations being done in the deepest layer. By approximating the spread term with the geometric mean (1/(2sqrt(dist_rx × dist_tx))), everything separates nicely, and it no longer needs to construct a giant element^2 × frequencies matrix for every scatterer. Speedup is dependent on settings, but it's anywhere between 30x and 600x in my tests.
The spread approximation isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. Even in the worst case (big aperture, close to the probe), I'm getting a near-perfect match with the original path:
This branch also includes Vincent's time-domain version, which is much faster in some cases, but slower in others:
linear (80 el), 2338 samples, 2049 bins, seconds per transmit (stopped if previous entry > 4s)
matrix (32×32 el), 2338 samples, 2049 bins, seconds per transmit (stopped if previous entry > 4s)
Note: the fish images are changes that were missing pieces of #544 ; re-running the notebook on current
mainproduces a fish RF with a nonzerot_peak. I've updated the images so the readthedocs page doesn't drift.Summary by CodeRabbit
