An ultrasound imaging system includes a plurality of transducer elements forming a transducer array, each of the plurality of transducer elements configured to transmit a waveform. The ultrasound system further includes a plurality of driving circuits configured to drive the transducer array, each of the plurality of driving circuits including a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) and a plurality of delay elements enabling communication between the plurality of driving circuits and the transducer array, the plurality of delay elements configured to linearly distribute delays to the plurality of transducer elements based on clock period. The clock period acts as a basis for controlling a steering angle of the waveform transmitted by each of the plurality of transducer elements.
