📄 原文摘要

Transducer drivers for ultrasound imaging are required to have high output power and operation frequency into the MHz range. Furthermore, in harmonic imaging, a well-established method resulting in enhanced contrast, higher harmonic echoes (usually the second) of the fundamental transmitted frequency, either generated by reflection from micro-bubbles or on propagation, are selectively detected and used for imaging [1]. As a consequence, the second harmonic of the transmitted signal is suppressed as much as possible and the received signal is derived solely from the nonlinear behavior of the body. Pulsers are usually adopted having high efficiency, being simple and lending themselves to harmonic imaging for example by means of out-of-phase pulse transmission techniques [1]. Output signals with arbitrary shape allow better performances, enabling apodization profiles with high resolution, beams with low harmonic
