    Abstract: Ultrasound signal processing circuitry and related apparatus and methods are described. Signal samples received from an ultrasound transducer array in an ultrasound transducer based imaging system may be processed, or conditioned, by application of one or more weighting functions. In some embodiments, one or more weighting functions may be applied to the signal samples in the time domain. In other embodiments, the signal samples may be converted to the frequency domain and one or more weighting functions may be applied in the frequency domain. In further embodiments, one or more weighting functions may be applied in the time domain and one or more weighting functions may be applied in the frequency domain. The weighting functions may be channel dependent and/or channel independent. The processed data can be provided to an image formation processor.

    Abstract translation: 描述了超声信号处理电路和相关的设备和方法。 从基于超声波换能器的成像系统中的超声换能器阵列接收的信号样本可以通过应用一个或多个加权函数来处理或调节。 在一些实施例中,可以将一个或多个加权函数应用于时域中的信号采样。 在其他实施例中,信号样本可以被转换到频域,并且一个或多个加权函数可以被应用在频域中。 在进一步的实施例中,可以在时域中应用一个或多个加权函数,并且可以在频域中应用一个或多个加权函数。 加权函数可以是取决于通道和/或独立于通道的。 处理后的数据可以被提供给图像形成处理器。
