Abstract: Adaptive beamforming has been widely studied for ultrasound imaging over the past few decades. The minimum variance (MV) and generalized coherence factor (GCF) approaches have been validated ...

The generalized coherence factor (GCF), an adaptive beamforming technique, can reduce unnecessary signals from an unfocused position without reducing the contrast-to-noise ratio. However, the ...

Adaptive beamforming has been widely studied for ultrasound imaging over the past few decades. The minimum variance (MV) and generalized coherence factor (GCF) approaches have been validated as ...

Abstract: This brief addresses the design of the compensation filter of a generalized comb filter (GCF). The proposed method is general and can be applied to different design constraints, i.e., ...
