摘要

A real-time 3-D imaging system requires the development of anbeamformer that can generate many beams simultaneously. In this paper,nwe discuss and evaluate a suitable synthetic aperture beamformer. Thenproposed beamformer is based on a pipelined network of high speedndigital signal processors (DSP). By using simple interpolation-basednbeamforming, only a few calculations per pixel are required for eachnchannel, and an entire 2-D synthetic aperture image can be formed in thentime of one transmit event. The performance of this beamformer wasnexplored using a computer simulation of the radiation pattern. Thensimulations were done for a full 64-element array and a sparse arraynwith the same receive aperture but only five transmit elements. Wenassessed the effects of changing the sampling rate and amplitudenquantization by comparing the relative levels of secondary lobes in thenradiation patterns. The results show that the proposed beamformernproduces a radiation pattern equivalent to a conventional beamformernusing baseband demodulation, provided that the sampling rate isnapproximately 10 times the center frequency of the transducer (34%nbandwidth pulse). The simulations also show that the sparse array is notnsignificantly more sensitive to delay or amplitude quantization than thenfull array
