| description | A transducer assembly is provided. The transducer assembly includes an aperture comprising a plurality of transducer elements. The transducer assembly also includes a plurality of first-level summers, wherein each transducer element is configured to be switchably coupled to at least four of the plurality of first-level summers. The transducer assembly further includes a plurality of second-level summers, wherein an output of each of the plurality of first-level summers is configured to be switchably coupled to an input of one of the plurality of second-level summers. |
