Embodiment Construction
[0093]FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an integrated probe system. Illustrated are a target object 1, a front-end probe 3, and a host computer 5, and a supplemental display / recording device 9. The front-end probe 3 integrates a transducer array 10 and control circuitry into a single hand-held housing. The control circuitry includes a transmit / receive module 12, a pre-amp / time-gain compensation (TGC) module 14, a charge domain processor (CDP) beamforming module 16, and a system controller 18. Memory 15 stores program instructions and data. The CDP beamformer integrated circuit 16 includes a computational capacity that can be used to calculate the delay coefficients used in each channel. The probe 3 interfaces with the host computer 5 over a communications link 40, which can follow a standard high-speed communications protocol, such as the FireWire (IEEE P1394 Standards Serial Interface) or fast (e.g., 200 Mbits / second or faster) Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0) protocol.
