Abstract

Ultrasound pulsed transducers are very important for blood flow measurement and imaging. Ultrasound pulsed transducers are broadband transducers which require relatively heavy external damping to achieve a good axial resolution and an adequately wide bandwidth. In this work, using a simple RLC circuit model, broadband transducers were constructed and tested. The results are quite applicable for pulsed Doppler blood flow measurements.
