Abstract: By using multiple-scattering theory (MST), the imaging process was investigated in steel/water phononic crystal panel with negative refraction. It was found there are some channels for the scattering waves propagating in the panel. For a given source location, the scattering channel changes with incident angle and so does the strength of signal coupled to the channel. While small-angle incident wave can be coupled into the channel perfectly, large-angle incident wave which is strongly scattered in the incident surface can be coupled into the channel only weakly. In the non-ideal imaging case, imaging position changes with the angle of incidence signal, it further causes imaging aberration. These scattering channels are closely related to the anisotropic band structure of the crystal panel and multiple scattering of the rods, and vary with position change of the sound source.
