Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE5808A
Tool/software:
Hello,
I am a graduate student, conducting research on ultrasound vascular imaging. The aim of my work is to design and experimentally validate a prototype ultrasound imaging system that can be used for algorithm development and evaluation in a laboratory environment.
For this purpose, I am considering the following experimental setup:
-
Ultrasound probe (linear array, ~10–15 MHz, shallow vascular imaging)
-
TX7316EVM as the high-voltage programmable pulser/driver
-
AFE5808A EVM (or other AFE series) as the low-noise analog front-end for receive channels
-
Computer workstation for data acquisition and image reconstruction
My questions are:
-
Is this setup feasible to acquire raw RF ultrasound data from vascular targets (e.g., superficial arm vessels) for offline image reconstruction and analysis?
-
Would I also require an FPGA data capture board (such as TSW1400) to transfer digitized AFE data to the computer, or can the EVMs alone provide sufficient data output for research experiments?
-
Is there a technical or sales contact (preferably in China) who can support academic research projects of this type?
This project is for academic research only (non-commercial), focusing on experimental verification of ultrasound system design and signal processing methods.
Thank you very much for your guidance and support.
