Abstract	The transit time spectrum broadening effect has long been explored for Doppler angle estimation. Given acoustic beam geometry, the Doppler angle can be derived based on the mean Doppler frequency and the Doppler bandwidth. Spectral estimators based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) are typically used. One problem with this approach is that a long data acquisition time is required to achieve adequate spectral resolution, with typically 32-128 flow samples being needed. This makes the method unsuitable for real-time two-dimensional Doppler imaging. This paper proposes using an autoregressive (AR) model to obtain the Doppler spectrum using a small number (e.g., eight) of flow samples. The flow samples are properly selected, then extrapolated to ensure adequate spectral resolution. Because only a small number of samples are used, the data acquisition time is significantly reduced and real-time, two-dimensional Doppler angle estimation becomes feasible. The approach was evaluated using both simulated and experimental data. Flows with various degrees of velocity gradient were simulated, with the Doppler angle ranging from 20/spl deg/ to 75/spl deg/. The results indicate that the AR method generally provided accurate Doppler bandwidth estimates. In addition, the AR method outperformed the FFT method at smaller Doppler angles. The experimental data for Doppler angles, ranging from 33/spl deg/ to 72/spl deg/, showed that the AR method using only eight flow samples had an average estimation error of 3.6/spl deg/, which compares favorably to the average error of 4.7/spl deg/ for the FFT method using 64 flow samples. Because accurate estimates can be obtained using a small number of flow samples, it is concluded that real-time, two-dimensional estimation of the Doppler angle over a wide range of angles is possible using the AR method.
