Beamforming scheme and parameter tradeoff in a 1.75 D ultrasound array design

A 1280-element, high resolution, ultrasound array transducer operating at 5 MHz has been constructed by Tetrad Inc. We are currently studying the beamforming schemes and parameter tradeoffs of this 1.75 D array system and will present our simulation results.
