This paper presents an architecture for Ultrasound Beamforming using Synthetic Transmit Aperture with Low Complexity and High SNR for medical imaging. Synthetic Transmit Aperture is a novel approach in ultrasound imaging system by which frame rate and image quality is increased significantly on less data-transfer and computational requirements. The real-time beam-forming performance of Phased Array(PA) method is limited by high computation and cost. Thus STA method(data-transfer rate-8MB/frame) advances over the Phased Array Method(data-transfer rate-95MB/frame) with comparitively much higher frame rate and Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR. In this paper, we have implemented receive beamforming using Synthetic Transmit Aperture (STA) method for eight channels and have obtained the sample data for reconstruction of image. The experimental results are compared with the conventional phased array and linear array beamforming, where it can be observed that the reduction in memory requirement and high SNR
