5-1-4 Front End
Figure 5-3 The Front End
The front end generates the strong transmit bursts, transmitted by the probes as ultrasound into the
body. It also receives weak ultrasound echoes from blood cells and body structure, amplifies the signals
and converts them to a 10bit digital signal.
The digital representation of the signal is presented to the mid processor section.
• PAM(PreAmplifier): The preamplifier amplifies 64 echo signals. The reception signals are sent to
ADC on RX64.
• RX64 (LOGIQ P3 Front Processor): Convert the analog echo signal to digital.
• TX64 (LOGIQ P3 Transmission Board):This has 64 channel bipolar drivers.
