Based on the analysis of the principle of giant magnetostrictive force sensor, the signal processing system of the sensor has been designed. First, this paper designs manual and automatic working mode for the giant magnetostrictive force sensor. Using SCM as a micro-controller, its peripheral interface circuits hardware system have been designed, including signal amplification circuit, analog to digital (A/D) conversion interface circuit, LED display interface circuit, determinant keyboard input interface circuit and imposing force control circuit. This system is able to display the numerical value of the imposed force. The software of the whole system is designed. Experiments are conducted to show that the signal processing system works well, which is important to practical application of the giant magnetostritive force sensor.

Medical ultrasound scanners are amongst the most sophisticated signal processing machines in use today. The Beamformer is the brain of whole signal processing system of the scanner [1]. Beamforming allows message transmission or reception to be directed or spatially selective. It is used in receiving beamforming to concentrate the noise signals obtained in the region of concern as reflections from various tissue structures. This paper reviews the various receive beamformer architectures implemented in FPGA/ASIC for ultrasound imaging. Most of the receive beamformers are implemented using the standard technique Delay and Sum. Beamforming in ultrasound instruments for medical imaging has traditionally been implemented using analog delay lines. The concept of dynamic focusing in near field has resulted more complex analog delay structures and were replaced by digital structures. By the availability of high-speed analog to digital converters, and VLSI Technology improvements have now made real time implementation of digital beamformers feasible. The current innovations involve hybrid beamformers utilizing the pros of both analog and digital structures. This paper discusses the evolution of beamforming architectures from analog to digital environment and the current beamformer designs. The changes in beamformer designs in order to be compatible to high frequency probes and yield improved imaging performance, resource optimization, etc. are discussed.
