Abstract
The quadrature sampling technique as a means of detecting the envelope of RF waveform in the baseband is well known. If this technique is applied to a focused ultrasound imaging system using an array transducer, whether it is a synthetic or nonsynthetic focusing system, unwanted phase terms appear in the expressions of the inphase and quadrature components of the baseband signal when an appropriate delay time is introduced to each channel signal for the purpose of focusing. The expressions of the inphase and quadrature components from the point of focusing are derived and analyzed in detail, and a scheme to eliminate the unwanted phase terms is proposed. The resulting phase-error-free quadrature sampling technique is applied to the synthetic focusing system; a system block diagram together with the simulation and experimental results are presented.
