In this paper a design process of 64 sensor matrix is described. This study presents adaptation of well known sonar engineering methods of analysis in order to design air operating ultrasound beamforming system. The elaborated system is based on wideband micro electro-mechanical systems. A full digital beamformer with advanced digital signal processing block description is also included. The main goal of the system is direct of arrival of ultrasound wave estimation.
