Development of multi-purpose Switching MUX for the ultrasound measurement

Abstract

In this thesis, it is presented the proposed development of the Switching MUX with the array transducer by use of Delay-And-Sum Beamforming technology for a more accurate measurement. Among the several measurement methods, it is studied two ways, i.e. Pulse-Echo method and the radiation conductance measurement. In this paper, we propose to the multipurpose Switching MUX all interfacing the two methods mentioned earlier. And it is verified that beam-forming control of the proposed equipment is smoothly implemented through simulation. And multipurpose Switching MUX proposed in this thesis is modularized by 64ports in order to reduce the hardware size.
