Sigma-delta dynamic receive beamforming

An architecture is described for receive beamforming using sigma-delta conversion. The effects of signal stretching to achieve dynamic receive delays are analyzed and simulated. The presented architecture provides a simple and effective solution to the dynamic receive artifacts.
