# Delay and Sum Beamforming Equation Derivation

## Homework Statement

I have to simplify this beam form (equation 1) which simplifies to equation 2 and then finally to equation 3.

## Homework Equations

equation 1: e^-ix((1-e^y)/(1-e^z)) where x = Beta*M_(1/2), y = beta*M, z= Beta

equation 2: sin(M*Beta/2)/(sin(Beta/2))

equation 3: M((sinc(M*Beta/2pi))/(sinc(Beta/2pi))) where sinc(x) = sin(pi*x)/pi*x

Eulors: e^jx = cos(x) +j*sin(x)

## The Attempt at a Solution

I have tries to use eulors equation to change it to sine sand cosine but I cant seem to get the proper cancellations i am looking for.

What is M_(1/2)?
Do you mean $e^{-i\frac{\beta}2(M-1)}\frac{1-e^{i\beta M}}{1-e^{i\beta}}$?

Sorry about the late response. It is M1/2 as a subscript, I attached a picture. I am going to the math department for some guidance since I cant seem to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated,

So what is the relationship between that and M? To get your eqn 2 I need it to equal (M-1)/2.

To get it in this form we had to assume M = 2*M1/2+1. so . There were some other step to get it into the equation form but this is where it originated from.
