Abstract
A beamformer for performing analog beamforming of ultrasound signals received from a plurality of transducer devices, the beamformer includes: first analog devices configured to output first ultrasound signals by delaying or transmitting the ultrasound signals based on a predetermined delay time; second analog devices configured to store first sub-ultrasound signals from among the first ultrasound signals, and to output the first sub-ultrasound signals depending on whether the first sub-ultrasound signals are repeatedly used; and a processor configured to control the delay time, and to perform the analog beamforming by summing the first ultrasound signals which correspond to the plurality of transducer devices and which are outputted depending on the delay time.
