Abstract The present invention relates to an ultrasound probe, an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and a control method thereof which resolve spatial limitations. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasound probe comprises: a plurality of transducer elements which transmit ultrasonic waves into a subject, detect ultrasonic echo signals responding to ultrasonic waves transmitted from the subject, and are classified to be included in a plurality of first sub-arrays; a plurality of first analog beam formers to firstly beam-form the ultrasonic echo signals detected by the plurality of transducer elements included in each of the first sub-arrays to generate a first synthesis signal; and a second analog beam former to secondly beam-form the first synthesis signal generated by each of the first analog beam formers to generate a second synthesis signal. 초음파 프로브, 초음파 진단 장치 및 초음파 진단 장치의 제어방법에 관한 것이다. 일 실시 예에 따르면, 초음파 프로브는, 대상체 내로 초음파를 송신하고, 대상체로부터 송신된 초음파에 대응하는 초음파 에코 신호를 검출하며, 복수개의 제1 서브 어레이에 포함되도록 분류되는 복수개의 트랜스듀서 엘리먼트, 상기 복수개의 제1 서브 어레이 각각에 포함된 상기 복수개의 트랜스듀서 엘리먼트에서 검출된 초음파 에코 신호를 각각 1차 빔포밍 하여 제1 합성 신호를 생성하는 복수개의 제1 아날로그 빔포머 및 상기 복수개의 제1 아날로그 빔포머 각각에서 생성된 상기 제1 합성 신호를 2차 빔포밍 하여 제2 합성 신호를 생성하는 제2 아날로그 빔포머를 포함할 수 있다.
