Ultrasound Transducer Simulation Page
BioSono provides a cyberspace (www.biosono.com) where researchers, engineers, and students can find useful reference and educational materials, conduct acoustic simulation, post questions on design and development, and get answers. The online KLM based transducer acoustic stack simulation, which is currently free, can help you choose piezoelectric, matching and backing material, and a tuning electrical network. The output from the model includes electrical transmit impedance, acoustic receive impedance, and the impulse or pulse-echo response. The ultrasound beam profile simulation provides the calculated transmitted ultrasound pressure field under certain excitation for a given transducer aperture in a number of different geometrical configurations, including circular elements (flat and concave piston), rectangular elements, linear arrays, convex arrays, and 2D arrays. The simulation is based on Field II, which is a free program that utilizes the spatial impulse response method, and has been validated by many researchers for accuracy. In addition to the web based acoustic simulation, we also provide pulse-echo system, transducers, and customized design and develop services.

SonoLab Echo II Description
The Echo II circuit board is very similar to that of Echo I. The board is powered by a 12 v DC power supply. There are voltage regulators on the board to generate 3.3V for digital circuits including a FPGA and a microcontroller, 5V and -5V for amplifier. A special step up circuit is used to generate the high voltage for ultrasound transmitting. A microcontroller is used to receive all the controls from buttons or PC, and echo back information to LCD or PC. Registers inside FPGA are used to store parameters from microcontroller to control transmit and echo digitizing.

A protection circuit is used to connect the transducer, the pulser and the receiver. Two stages of viable gain amplifier (VGA) are used to provide up to 60dB gain to echo at a bandwidth of 90MHz. The voltage for the gain control of VGA is supplied by a 2-channel digital to analog converter. The amplified echo signal is split into two path with one going to a 100 MHz analog to digital converter and the other one going through a Doppler channel.
