A method and an apparatus for enhancing the side-lobe performance of a sparse ultrasonic transducer array using harmonic imaging to reduce all beam sidelobe (including grating lobe) levels. Harmonic imaging consists of using the active transducer elements to transmit an ultrasound signal (wideband or narrowband) of center frequency f.sub.0 and receive at one or more harmonic frequencies nf.sub.0, where n.gtoreq.2.
