Abstract

Synthetic transmit aperture focusing (STAF) has the problem of high computational complexity. An STAF scheme with greatly reduced computational complexity by using an optimal periodic sparse receive array (SRA) is proposed. An analytic method to design optimal SRAs that provide minimum main lobe width and grating lobe levels for a given number of active receive elements is also suggested. The experiment results show that the proposed STAF method can reduce computational complexity by up to 66.67% compared with conventional STAF.
