If the point source reflection coefficient calculation method is used, then the calculation accuracy is improved, but the calculation process becomes complex and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary derivation and simplification of the point source reflection coefficient formula in advance, creating a concise closed-form expression. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex numerical computations during actual calculations, thereby maintaining high accuracy while dramatically improving computational efficiency.

If the traditional point source calculation method is used, then the frequency variation and phase characteristics are accurately described, but the calculation process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential physical characteristics (frequency variation and phase characteristics) from the complex traditional calculation process and formulates them into a simplified closed-form expression. This extraction maintains the accuracy of these critical characteristics while removing the computationally intensive steps.
