An ultrasound imaging system includes a plurality of processing chains (206l, 206K) for a plurality of transducer element channels (108l,..., 108K). A processing chain of the plurality of processing chains, includes: a phase rotation processor (114l, 114K) that focuses an N-bit digital representation, of an analog RF signal received on the corresponding transducer element channel, through phase rotation through phase additions or subtractions, and outputs a focused N-bit quantized value, where N is a predetermined positive integer. |
