But.........your design won't work very well as it is. To make a 2-D diffuser that works evenly, you need to use a more sophisticated method to "translate" your sequence from a 1-d to a 2-D. Chinese remainder theorem is one option, for example.

I would be happy to help you work through this. But, before we dig through the math give me a better idea of what you want the end product to be.

Once we get these things covered..and anything else you want to add, we can cook you up a top quality sequence in a flash!
Hi Jason,

I once used the Chinese Remainder Theorem to build a stereolithography prototype of a small 255-cell, 2-D well diffuser. I also built its complement so the combination could be binary-modulated into larger arrays. But we never spent the money to have molds made from the prototype parts.

I have a rudimentary array selection spreadsheet (Excel) and a case-specific design script in Matlab. One needs to know a smattering of number theory and have read the relevant AES preprint to benefit from these, so I'm not posting them here for general consumption. P.M. me if interested.
