Nowadays the classical Delay-and-Sum (DAS) beamformer is extensively used in ultrasound imaging due to its low computational characteristics. However, it suffers from high sidelobe level, poor resolution and low contrast. An alternative is the Minimum-Variance (MV) beamformer which results in a higher image quality both in terms of spatial resolution and contrast. Even so, these benefits come at the expense of a higher computation complexity that limits its real-time capabilities. One solution that recently gained noticeable interest is the exploit of the sparsity of the scanned medium. Based on this assumption, we extend the DAS method to yield sparse results by using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Our realistic simulations demonstrate that the proposed beamforming (BF) method shows better performance than the classical DAS and MV in terms of lateral resolution, sidelobe reduction and contrast.
经典的延迟求和波束形成器由于其低计算特性在超声成像中得到了广泛的应用。但它存在副瓣电平高、分辨率差、对比度低等缺点。另一种选择是最小方差(MV)波束形成器,它可以在空间分辨率和对比度方面获得更高的图像质量。即便如此,这些好处是以更高的计算复杂性为代价的,这限制了它的实时能力。最近引起人们注意的一个解决方案是利用扫描介质的稀疏性。基于这一假设,我们利用贝叶斯信息准则(BIC)对DAS方法进行了扩展,得到稀疏结果。仿真结果表明,本文提出的波束形成方法在横向分辨率、旁瓣抑制和对比度方面都优于传统的DAS和MV。

Feasibility of lead-free piezoceramic based power ultrasonic transducers 无铅压电陶瓷功率超声换能器的可行性

Lead-based piezoceramics are currently the most widely used transduction material in power ultrasonic applications. Directives such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS and RoHS2) regulate the sale of electrical and electronic equipment containing hazardous substances, such as lead, entering the European marketplace. However, lead-based piezoceramics have been exempt due to the lack of a genuine lead-free equivalent. Lead-free piezoceramics were first developed in the 1950s, however their relatively poor properties when compared to PZT left them largely neglected until the implementation of the European directive. This study investigates the incorporation of a modern lead-free piezoceramic, a variant of bismuth sodium titanate (BNT), into a commercial power ultrasonic transducer used in semiconductor wire bonding. It is reported that a device containing BNT was capable of forming wire bonds, and that the lead-free transducer exhibited properties that could make them suitable in other power ultrasonic applications.
铅基压电陶瓷是目前应用最广泛的功率超声换能器材料。诸如有害物质限制(RoHS和RoHS2)之类的指令规范了含有有害物质(如铅)的电气和电子设备进入欧洲市场的销售。然而,由于缺乏真正的无铅等效产品,铅基压电陶瓷已被豁免。无铅压电陶瓷最早是在20世纪50年代开发的,但是与PZT相比,它们相对较差的性能使它们在很大程度上被忽视,直到欧洲指令的实施。本研究探讨了将一种新型无铅压电陶瓷,一种铋钛酸钠(BNT)的变体,整合到用于半导体线键合的商用功率超声换能器中。据报道,含有BNT的装置能够形成导线键,并且无铅换能器显示出可以使其适用于其他功率超声波应用的特性。

Quantifying numerical errors in the simulation of transcranial ultrasound using pseudospectral methods 用伪谱方法量化经颅超声模拟中的数值误差

Effective transcranial transmission of focused ultrasound is desirable for various therapeutic applications. Time-reversal (TR) focusing based on numerical simulations of ultrasound propagation can be used to correct for the aberrating skull layer. For weakly heterogeneous media, k-space and pseudospectral time domain (PSTD) methods have been shown to have increased accuracy and efficiency compared to the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) methods typically used in TR. However, their suitability for highly heterogeneous, transcranial simulations is less clear. Here, this is established in terms of spatial and temporal sampling requirements through numerical testing and comparison with FDTD schemes. PSTD schemes are shown to give equal or better accuracy compared to FDTD schemes for modelling propagation through tissue-realistic heterogeneities, which, combined with the reduction in numerical dispersion obtained with k-space correction, recommends them for use in simulated TR.
有效的经颅聚焦超声传输是各种治疗应用所需要的。基于超声传播数值模拟的时间反转聚焦可用于颅骨层像差的校正。对于弱异质介质,与TR中通常使用的有限差分时域(FDTD)方法相比,k空间和伪谱时域(PSTD)方法已被证明具有更高的准确性和效率。然而,它们对高度异质、经颅模拟的适用性尚不清楚。在这里,通过数值测试和与FDTD方案的比较,从空间和时间采样要求方面建立了这一点。与FDTD方案相比,PSTD方案在通过组织真实异质性建模传播方面具有相同或更好的精度,这与k空间校正获得的数值色散的减少相结合,推荐它们用于模拟TR。

The co-design of a SAW duplexer and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for reducing the total noise figure of the Rx chain in the RF front-end of current multi-band cellular handsets is presented in this paper. The co-design procedure is proposed and one case study for the UMTS Band2 is demonstrated. The key point of the co-design is designing a duplexer and an LNA at the optimum impedance, instead of the standard 50 Ω impedance interface, while taking the matching circuit loss into account. The possibility of reducing the total noise figure is shown in the case study simulation.

Cognitive radio technology on TV white spaces has been promoted worldwide to solve the spectrum shortage problem due to the explosive increase in personal communication systems such as smartphones. One of the most difficult challenges to utilize TV white space for personal use is the miniaturization of frequency and bandwidth tunable filters to select vacant TV channels. We have developed a one-chip bandwidth tunable filter by wafer-level transfer-integration of BaSrTiO3 (BST) film varactors and surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators on a lithium tantalate wafer. The 3 dB bandwidth of the bandwidth tunable filter is tuned between 3.25 MHz and 6.25 MHz by applying 7V to the varactors, while the center frequency was constant at 1.004 GHz, as designed. These filters were installed in our developed prototype cognitive radio systems based on the IEEE802.11af draft and successfully demonstrated wireless LAN communication on TV frequency band.

We introduced the fast multipole method (FMM) into our concept for plane wave pulse-echo ultrasound imaging (UI) to reduce the memory consumption and the computational costs associated with the numerical solution of the underlying regularized linear inverse scattering problem (ISP). For an example of typical size and in comparison to the conventional approach, we showed that the FMM requires less than 0.25% of the memory and less than 24% of the number of complex-valued multiplications. The FMM thus enables the numerical solution of the regularized (e.g. by compressed sensing) linear ISP on standard personal computers. It significantly improves the applicability of inverse scattering strategies in practical UI.
我们将快速多极方法(FMM)引入平面波脉冲回波超声成像(UI)的概念中,以减少与底层正则化线性逆散射问题(ISP)数值解相关的内存消耗和计算成本。对于典型大小的示例,与传统方法相比,我们表明FMM需要的内存少于0.25%,复杂值乘法的数量少于24%。因此,FMM可以在标准个人计算机上实现正则化(例如通过压缩感知)线性ISP的数值解。这大大提高了逆散射策略在实际用户界面中的适用性。

Robust ultrasonic reverberation clutter suppression using Multi-Apodization with Cross-correlation 基于互相关的多波化鲁棒超声混响杂波抑制

Dual Apodization with Cross-correlation (DAX) is a novel beamforming technique that utilizes a pair of complementary receive apodizations for clutter suppression in ultrasound imaging. The effectiveness of DAX in-vivo is often reduced because of the strong reverberation clutter signals caused by near-field structures. In this work, we propose a modified version of DAX, known as Multi-Apodization with Cross-correlation (MAX), which suppresses reverberation clutter in a highly robust manner by utilizing multiple pairs of receive apodizations followed by normalized cross-correlation. Our simulation, experimental and initial clinical results show that MAX achieves a large improvement over DAX in terms of image contrast and shows great potential for more accurate diagnosis in clinics.

Usually focused transducers have acoustical lens or large concave surface in order to generate focused high intensity ultrasound beam. Therefore these traditional focusing transducers are commonly large in size and long in focal length, which are not suitable for interventional ultrasound imaging or therapy. For solving this problem, in this paper, a micromachined self-focusing piezoelectric composite ultrasonic transducer was designed and evaluated. The theoretical analysis was deduced based on the electromechanical response of piezoelectric composites and theory of Fresnel half-wave band interference. This self-focusing transducer has many advantages, including micro size, short focal length, low acoustic impedance, high electromechanical coupling coefficient. Besides these, because it was based on micro-electromechanical systems, the fabrication process precision is high and reliable. These results hold good potential for interventional ultrasound therapy or imaging applications.
聚焦换能器通常具有声透镜或大凹面,以产生聚焦的高强度超声光束。因此,这些传统的聚焦换能器通常尺寸大,焦距长,不适合介入超声成像或治疗。为了解决这一问题,本文设计了一种微机械自聚焦压电复合超声换能器,并对其性能进行了评价。基于压电复合材料的机电响应特性和菲涅耳半波段干涉理论,推导了压电复合材料的理论分析。该自聚焦换能器具有体积小、焦距短、声阻抗小、机电耦合系数高等优点。此外,由于它是基于微机电系统的,所以加工精度高、可靠。这些结果在介入超声治疗或影像学应用方面具有良好的潜力。

The single nano particle state was obtained by using a ultrasonic humidifier. To control the surface tension, the concentration of methanol changed in the suspension of TiO2 nano particle. The collecting effect was investigated by measuring the particle size distribution. As the surface tension was decreased by increasing the concentration of methanol, the particle size at the peak of distribution was decreased and the number of particles per unit volume was increased. The nano particles with intended size could be collected by controlling the surface tension of the suspension.
利用超声加湿器获得单纳米粒子状态。通过改变TiO2纳米颗粒悬浮液中甲醇的浓度来控制表面张力。通过测量颗粒粒度分布,考察了捕集效果。随着甲醇浓度的增加,表面张力降低,分布峰处粒径减小,单位体积颗粒数增加。通过控制悬浮液的表面张力,可以收集到预期尺寸的纳米颗粒。

To control the surface tension, the concentration of methanol changed in the suspension of TiO2 nano particle. The collecting effect was investigated by measuring the particle size distribution. As the surface tension was decreased by increasing the concentration of methanol, the particle size at the peak of distribution was decreased and the number of particles per unit volume was increased.
