Abstract:A 48-element, 256-beam, 25-kHz sample-rate programmable DIMUS processor is currently being constructed to work with a variety of arrays on the research platform FLIP. The design approach eliminates the need for a discretionary hard-wired steering matrix, while the system clock rate remains essentially the same as for a serial beamformer of conventional design. The processor is easily reprogrammed for different array configurations or for changes in the set of beam steering directions. Although the technique ha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
