The conventional wave-equation linearization methods, such as the first-order Born or Rytov approximation, always implicitly imply a weak-scattering assumption, making it valid only for weak perturbation models. To extend the wave-equation linearization theory to strong perturbation models, we consider a scenario that the reference model is smooth within the scale of the incident wave length, and propose a phase-preserving method which can predict the phase perturbation of forward scattering wave field. First, we introduce the WKBJ approximation to the scattered- and incident wave fields so that the integral of the unknown solution (i.e. the scattered field) in the nonlinear Ricatti integral equation can be replaced by the integral of scattering-angle and model perturbation, yielding an explicit expression of the scattered field. Theoretical derivation shows that the proposed phase-preserving method can accurately predict the phase-perturbation of forward scattered wave field regardless of the strength of velocity perturbations for one-dimensional wave propagation problem. To apply the phase-preserving approximation to the inverse problem, we further consider a scenario of small-angle forward propagation. In this case, the phase-preserving approximation can be linearized by neglecting the influence of scattering angles, leading to a linear relation between the scattered field and the model perturbation, which we refer to as the generalized Rytov approximation. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the generalized Rytov approximation can predict the phase perturbation of the scattered field with higher accuracy for small-angle forward propagation, and is suitable for strong model perturbations. The generalized Rytov approximation extends the validity and the scope of application of the traditional Rytov approximation. In specific application fields such as the seismic traveltime tomography or medical ultrasonic transmission imaging, a new traveltime/phase sensitivity kernel can be derived by replacing the conventional Rytov approximation with the proposed method, which can increase the inversion accuracy and speed up the convergence.
