B/M Mode Processor (BMP) Board
5-3-5-1
General Description
The B/M-mode Processor (BMP) subsystem takes the digital complex data from the EQ subsystem and
converts it to either B-mode (2D) or M-mode (timeline) data.
•
Processes I & Q data for B-Mode and M-Mode imaging.
•
Calculates echo signal’s amplitude.
•
Converts sample rate to display rate.
•
Implements dynamic range and edge enhancement.
•
Splices multiple focal zones into one image.
•
Sends processed B/M data to the Scan Control Board.
