Abstract: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) systems and methods that reduce latency to improve performance. In certain embodiments the systems sample a noise signal using a sample period to create a stream of digital signal data that is representative of the noise signal. A data transport layer carries the digital signal data to a signal processor. The transport layer temporally organizes the digital signal data to place the digital signal data within an initial phase of a sample period. The remaining phase of the sample period is set to a duration that allows the signal processor to process the digital signal data carried in the initial phase and to output the processed data during the same sample period. In this way, the processing of data occurs within one sample period and the latency is reduced and predictable.

Abstract: A system for ultrasound beamforming is provided, including a sampled analog beamformer, an array of ultrasound transducers, and a high voltage amplifier coupled to the sampled analog beamformer and the array of ultrasound transducers. The sampled analog beamformer includes a sampled analog filter for filtering an incoming analog signal and adding a fractional delay, and transmitting a filtered analog ultrasound signal. The array of ultrasound transducers further transmits the filtered analog ultrasound signal. The high voltage amplifier drives transducers in the array of ultrasound transducers.
