In this paper we present an US system simulation tool, capable to study how system performance is influenced by both electronic and acoustic design parameters by joining acoustic-side models with those of the transducer and front-end electronics. The implemented tool has been entirely implemented in Matalb and includes US-field, CMUT and receiver front-end models. In particular, in this work we focus on the reception chain of components and evaluate the accuracy and correct functioning of the Matlab model compared to a real electronic architecture. Results and electric simulations confirmed that our tool efficiently joins all the implemented models and is able to correctly simulate and process the received echo signals.

Abstract

In this paper we present an US system simulation tool, capable to study how system performance is influenced by both electronic and acoustic design parameters by joining acoustic-side models with those of the transducer and front-end electronics. The implemented tool has been entirely implemented in Matalb and includes US-field, CMUT and receiver front-end models. In particular, in this work we focus on the reception chain of components and evaluate the accuracy and correct functioning of the Matlab model compared to a real electronic architecture. Results and electric simulations confirmed that our tool efficiently joins all the implemented models and is able to correctly simulate and process the received echo signals.
