How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe digitizer, specifically the CS14200, is utilized to digitize beamformed radiofrequency (RF) data from the ultrasound front-end scanner. It samples data at a frequency of 200 MHz with 14-bit resolution, which is then transferred to a PC for further processing.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe digitizer played a crucial role in verifying the functionality of the PZT-PVDF stacked transducer through pulse-echo experiments. It captured the echo signals received by both the PZT and PVDF elements, allowing for precise measurement and comparison of the signal delays. Additionally, the digitizer facilitated the reception of broadband acoustic emissions during experiments involving microbubbles exposed to ultrasound pulses.
