This beamformer is a variant of the one used in PW where the difference consists in the receiver delay computation. As the graph is obtained by the composition of L2 libraries, it has the summation of the components in I/O of the L2 libraries:
- Graph Inputs:
- start_positions: the position that you start the investigation in cartesian coordinate;
- directions: X-Y-Z values of propagation of the spherical or planar wave emitted;
- samples_arange: array with the index of the rf-data;
- image_points_from_PL: the result of Image Points;
- image_points_from_PL2: the result of Image Points;
- tx_def_ref_point: X-Y-Z array with the reference point of the investigation for that iteration;
- tx_def_delay_distance: X-Y-Z array that represents the absolute distance with respect to the focus;
- tx_def_delay_distance2: X-Y-Z array that represents the absolute distance with respect to the focus;
- tx_def_focal_point: X-Y-Z array that represent the focus;
- t_start: The starting time of emission;
- apo_ref_0: X component of the vector of apodization reference;
- xdc_def_0: X component of the vector that represents the transducer positions;
- apo_ref_1: Y component of the vector of apodization reference;
- xdc_def_1: Y component of the vector that represents the transducer positions;
- image_points_from_PL_2: Result of Image Points;
- delay_from_PL: Result of Delay;
- xdc_def_positions: X-Y-Z vector that represents the positions of the transducers in the probe;
- sampling_frequency: The sampling frequency of the probe;
- image_points: Result of Image Points;
- apodization_reference: X-Y-Z vector that represents the positions of the apodization reference;
- apo_distance_k: Result of Focusing;
- F_number: The selected F number for the application;
- P1: First point to be interpolated;
- P2: Second point to be interpolated;
- P3: Second point to be interpolated;
- P4: Third point to be interpolated;
- P5: Third point to be interpolated;
- P6: Fourth point to be interpolated;
- Graph Outputs:
- Image Points: A Nx4 matrix that represents the points to analyze;
- delay_to_PL: A vector that represents time delay per point to analyze;
- focusing_output: A vector that represents apodization distance per transducer;
- samples_to_PL: A vector that represents the valid entries in the rf-data vector;
- apodization: A vector that represents the Hanning Window for the reference point chosen;
- C: A vector with the result of the interpolation.
