    Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic biometric imaging system comprising: a cover structure having a touch surface; a plurality of ultrasonic transducers arranged at a periphery of the touch surface; a plurality of mixed-signal integrated circuits configured to: AD-convert a received analog echo-signal to form a digital echo signal for each active ultrasonic transducer in the subset of ultrasonic transducers; perform local beamforming by introducing a first controllable delay to each digital echo signal to form a plurality of delayed echo signals; and sum the delayed echo signals to form an intermediate signal. The biometric imaging system further comprises a host processor connected to each of the plurality of mixed-signal integrated-circuits and configured to: receive intermediate signals from the of mixed-signal integrated-circuits; perform global beamforming by introducing a second controllable delay to each intermediate signal; and sum the delayed intermediate signals to form a final echo signal.

    Abstract: A biometric sensor module for detecting a biometric feature of a user comprises: a biometric sensor comprising an array of sensing elements for acquiring sensing signals indicative of a biometric feature of a user, the array of sensing elements arranged facing towards a front side of the biometric sensor. Further, the biometric sensor module comprises a bottom flexible film attached to a back side, opposite the front side, of the biometric sensor. The bottom flexible film can carry at least one electrically conductive line electrically connectable to the biometric sensor and electrically connectable to an external electrical circuit. The biometric sensor module further comprises a top film attached to the biometric sensor closer to the front side of the biometric sensor than the bottom flexible film. The flexible film includes a bent portion such that the flexible film is bent towards the top film.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fingerprint sensing system and a method performed by the fingerprint sensing system of verifying that setting data of a fingerprint sensor of the fingerprint sensing system has not been modified. In aspect, a method performed by a fingerprint sensing system of verifying that setting data of a fingerprint sensor of the fingerprint sensing system has not been modified is provided. The method comprises blocking access to the fingerprint sensor setting data held in a storage of the fingerprint sensing system, acquiring from the fingerprint sensor a representation of the fingerprint sensor setting data to be utilized upon capturing a fingerprint image, and verifying from the acquired representation if the fingerprint sensor setting data corresponds to fingerprint sensor setting data that previously was written to the storage.
