A low power miniaturized ultrasound system using spread spectrum technology

An ultrasound system has been developed that uses a 5 volt power supply and instead of a high voltage pulse uses a 5 volt peak to peak swept signal to the transducer. This has performance superior to a capacitor discharge system using a pulse of several hundred volts. This system is small and can be...

Description
Summary:An ultrasound system has been developed that uses a 5 volt power supply and instead of a high voltage pulse uses a 5 volt peak to peak swept signal to the transducer. This has performance superior to a capacitor discharge system using a pulse of several hundred volts. This system is small and can be miniaturized further making it suitable for compact, low power application such as remote monitoring or operating in sensitive environments where the higher voltages of a pulsed system require special considerations.
