摘要： The present invention provides a digital delay-and-sum receive beamformer with delta-sigma analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. The echoes' reflected are sensed by a transducer array. The signals received are sampled at the time instants required for the receive beamforming using the timing information stored in a memory and then digitized by DELTA SIGMA modulators prior to summation. This requires a non-uniform sampling scheme employing different clocks at each array channel. The non-uniform sampling is achieved by performing a logical "and" operation between a fixed master clock, which is slightly higher than the frequency at which the samples of beam sums are acquired, and a digital receive beamforming memory, which holds a "1" or a "0" for that analog sample associated with the master clock rate. The oversampled outputs, are then summed together. The coarse beam sum is further processed through a decimation filter to suppress high-frequency quantization noise.

摘要： An invention for coherent array image formation and restoration is taught. The invention is applicable for both 2D and 3D imaging using either 1D or 2D arrays, respectively. A transducer array is subdivided into subarrays, each subarray having a number of adjacent array elements. All elements of each subarray transmit and receive in parallel. The signals received from each subarray are delayed and summed to form scan lines, or beams. The low-beam-rate beams formed from each subarray are upsampled and interpolated prior to forming high-beam-rate images. Depending on the subarray geometry, a subarray-dependent restoration filter is also applied to the subarray beams. The restored beams from each subarray are combined to form the final high-beam-rate image. The invention significantly reduces the front-end hardware complexity compared to conventional methods such as full phased array imaging with comparable image quality.
