14 Beam Former Design
15 Implementaiton of Beam Formation Delay is simply based on geometry. Weighting (a.k.a. apodization) strongly depends on the specific approach.
16 Beam Formation - Delay Delay is based on geometry. For simplicity, a constant sound velocity and straight line propagation are assumed. Multiple reflection is also ignored. In diagnostic ultrasound, we are almost always in the near field. Therefore, range focusing is necessary.
17 Beam Formation - Delay Near field / far field crossover occurs when f # =aperture size/wavelength. The crossover also corresponds to the point where the phase error across the aperture becomes significant (destructive).
18 Phased Array Imaging Tx Transducer θ Rx Delay x R Symmetry
19 Dynamic Focusing Dynamic-focusing obtains better image quality but implementation is more complicated. Delay Dynamic Fix R
20 Focusing Architecture 1 delay line N transducer array delay controller delay line summation
21 Delay Pattern Delays are quantized by sampling-period t s. Delay k 0 n 0 Time
22 Missing Samples Human Body Beamformer Delay Delay-Change t 2 t 1 Time
23 Beam Formation input Δτ Δτ Δτ delay controller output
24 Beam Formation - Delay The sampling frequency for fine focusing quality needs to be over 32*f 0 (>> Nyquist). Interpolation is essential in a digital system and can be done in RF, IF or BB.
25 Delay Quantization The delay quantization error can be viewed as the phase error of the phasors.
26 Delay Quantization N=128, 16 quantization steps per cycles are required. In general, 32 and 64 times the center frequency is used.
27 Beam Formation - Delay e l e m e n t i A D C i n t e r p o l a t i o n d i g i t a l d e l a y s u m m a t i o n RF beamformer requires either a clock well over 100MHz, or a large number of real-time computations. BB beamformer processes data at a low clock frequency at the price of complex signal processing.

35 ΔΣ-Based Beamformers
36 Current Problems Why ΔΣ? High Delay Resolution f 0 (requires interpolation) Multi-Bit Bus ΔΣ Advantages High Sampling Rate -- No Interpolation Required Single-Bit Bus -- Suitable for Beamformers with Large Channel-Count
37 Conventional vs. ΔΣ
38 Advantages of Over-Sampling Noise averaging. For every doubling of the sampling rate, it is equivalent to an additional 0.5 bit quantization. Less requirements for delay interpolation. Conventional A/D not ideal for single-bit applications.
39 Advantages of ΔΣ Beamformers Noise shaping. Single-bit vs. multi-bits. Simple delay circuitry. Integration with A/D and signal processing. For hand-held or large channel count devices.

42 Signal and Noise Transfer Function
43 Noise Shaping Transfer Functions For first order noise shaping, 1.5 bits (9 db) is gained when the sampling frequency is doubles. For second order noise shaping, 2.5 bits (15 db) is gained when the sampling frequency is doubles.

54 Temporal Resolution (Frame Rate) Frame rate=1/frame time. Frame time=number of lines * line time. Line time=(2*maximum depth)/sound velocity. Sound velocity is around 1540 m/s. High frame rate is required for real-time imaging.
55 Temporal Resolution Display standard: NTSC: 30 Hz. PAL: 25 Hz (2:1 interlace). 24 Hz for movie. The actual acoustic frame rate may be higher or lower. But should be high enough to have minimal flickering. Essence of real-time imaging: direct interaction.
56 Temporal Resolution For an actual frame rate lower than 30 Hz, interpolation is used. For an actual frame rate higher than 30 Hz, information can be displayed during playback. Even at 30 Hz, it is still possibly undersampling.
57 Temporal Resolution B-mode vs. Doppler. Acoustic power: peak vs. average. Increasing frame rate: Smaller depth and width. Less flow samples. Wider beam width. Parallel beam formation.
58 Parallel Beamformation Simultaneously receive multiple beams. Correlation between beams, spatial ambiguity. Require duplicate hardware (higher cost) or time sharing (reduced processing time and axial resolution). t r1 t r2 r1 r2
