High speed analog front-end circuit design for ultrasound systems

Ultrasound is one of the most important and indispensable imaging technologies used to diagnose and detect diseases. In recent years, advances in electronics, advancements in sensor technology and new solutions in signal processing have enabled hardware developments in this field to continue. It is known that sound waves travel at different speeds and are subject to reflection as they travel through tissues of different densities. Based on this, sound waves are sent through a probe containing a high-frequency piezoelectric material, the receivers and transmitters of these sound waves are triggered with the help of a pulser together with a high voltage generator, and the gains of the triggered sound waves passing through different intensities are compensated by passing a time gain compensation, Finally, it is aimed to design an Analog Front-End circuit that is sampled at high speed and transmitted to the digital processing unit. Nowadays, the speed of electronic equipment is increasing. In this study, the design of this hardware was carried out with the most up-to-date hardware versions.
