Coupled Apodization Functions Applied to Enhance Image Quality in Ultrasound Imaging using Phased Arrays
The remarkable presence of side lobes levels in ultrasound B-mode imaging significantly decreases the image quality. Therefore, the use of an apodization function is of great importance. Linear windowing functions are among the most efficient techniques used to optimize antenna directivity by suppression of the side lobes. However, the apodization causes the degradation of lateral…
Read More An FPGA Implementation of Resource-Optimized Dynamic Digital Beamformer for a Portable Ultrasound Imaging System
This paper presents a resource-friendly dynamic digital beamformer for a portable ultrasound imaging system based on a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The core of the ultrasound imaging system is a 128- channel receive beamformer with fully dynamic focusing embedded in a single FPGA chip, which operates at a frequency of 40 MHz. The Rx…
