title: A closed loop ML algorithm for phase aberration correction in phased array imaging systems. II. Performance analysis [Ultrasound medical imaging].
abstract: For pt.I see ibid., vol.44, pp.259-70 (1997). The performance of the maximum likelihood closed loop circuits, proposed in part I for phase aberration correction in phased array imaging systems, is analysed. This analysis is helpful in designing and also in determining the tracking mode phase error variance performance of both closed loop circuits (1-D and 2-D). It is an approximate analysis, suitable under small errors conditions, and considered accurate for high values of the signal to noise ratio.
