Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization
Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization Customer Case This customer's application is Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization. Their ultrasonic sensors transmit 16 signals. The customer's requirement is to capture 512 points on the 16 channels, average them together, and then store the data in a buffer, with the system running continuously. They would like to be able to update the average buffer and recapture data as fast as possible. They would then like to log the data to disk or process the data and display an image on the screen. Since the signals coming in from their ultrasonic sensors are very weak, the customer [...]
Digitizing Ultrasonic Signals
Digitizing Ultrasonic Signals Customer Case The customer has an ultrasonic signal that he wants to digitize with either 8 or 12-bit resolution. The sampling rate required for this application is a minimum of 16 MSPS (20 MSPS is acceptable). Finally, the data must be acquired for a full 10 seconds. The data is not coming in continuously: it is arriving in bursts one millisecond apart (PRF = 1 KHz). For each trigger the customer wants to capture approximately 200 us of data. Once this data is acquired, the customer wants it saved to the hard drive as a standard [...]
Whitepaper: What Defines Performance in High-Speed Digitizers
Introduction Today’s advanced, PC-based digitizers for high-speed data acquisition are necessary for myriad applications – ranging from signal analysis, lidar, ultrasound imaging and non-destructive testing, to communications, particle physics, mass spectroscopy and more. This article highlights how digitizers are unique and describes the unique performance parameters engineers should use when selecting a high-speed digitizer. Digitizers Cater to In-Process Signal Testing While digitizers and Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSOs) both use Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) chips as their core electronics they are different tools. The DSO is optimized for the probing and visualization of signals that are typically encountered on [...]

Unlock RF Spectrum Secrets with the GaGe CSE1622 Digitizer
Summary: High-speed spectrum sensing is essential in many radar applications and can be achieved by modern digitizers paired with radios. The GaGe CSE1622, a gallium-germanium 16-bit, 200-MS/s PCIe digitizer, is utilized for this purpose. It rapidly captures 40-MHz-wide snapshots of the spectrum, which are filtered and down-converted by the SI-8614 Nanoceptor receiver. The data is then processed using LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs), optimized for near-continuous capture rates and efficient real-time monitoring. For optimal performance, a LabVIEW producer-consumer loop is employed. The producer loop quickly queues data captured from the digitizer; however, the consumer loop processes it slower using [...]
Precision Methane Isotope Analysis with Gage Digitizer Technology
Summary: Methane measurements have reached new levels of precision with the development of a spectrometer capable of decoding the intricacies of infrared light. At the heart of this advancement is a GaGe digitizer, a critical component enabling rapid switching between two specific wavelengths. This innovative approach effectively reduces noise interference stemming from temperature and frequency fluctuations, a common challenge in such measurements. Researchers have achieved remarkable accuracy in determining methane isotope ratios by harnessing the power of optically switched dual-wavelength cavity ring-down spectroscopy (OSDW-CRDS). This breakthrough opens doors to a deeper understanding of methane's role in climate change, [...]
