Advanced Beamformers

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA494788 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The aim with this report is to bring together some of the recent theoretical developments on beamformers and provide suggestions of how modern technology can be applied to the development of current and next generation ultrasound systems and integrated active and passive sonars. It will focus on the development of an advanced beamforming structure that allows the implementation of adaptive and synthetic aperture signal processing techniques in ultrasound systems and integrated active-passive sonars deploying multi-dimensional arrays of sensors.
