A Unified Systolic Array for Adaptive Beamforming
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new algorithm and systolic array for adaptive beamforming. Our approach improves on McWhirter's pioneering work in two respects. First, our algorithm uses only orthogonal transformations and this should have better numerical properties. Second, the algorithms can be implemented on one single pxp triangular array of programmable processors that offers a throughput of one residual element per cycle.

Adaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...
متن کاملPhased array ultrasonic imaging using an improved beamforming based total focusing method for non destructive test
One of the novel ultrasonic phased array based scanning methods for ultrasonic imaging in non-destructive test is total focusing method (TFM). This method employs maximum available information of the phased array elements and leads to an improved defect detection accuracy compared to conventional scanning methods. Despite its high detection accuracy, TFM behaves weak in distinguishing the real ...

متن کاملSystolic Algorithms for Adaptive Signal Processing
An overview is given of recent work in parallel algorithms development. It is shown how one speci c type of systolic algorithm/array can be used for several `classical' adaptive signal processing tasks, such as recursive least squares parameter estimation, SVD updating, Kalman ltering, beamforming and direction nding, etc.
