4D&CW&TEE board
The main board frontend provides the following functions:
Control FPGA, implementing transmit/receive control, ATGC adjustment, CW receive
control, and probe management for 64 channels
Clock circuit
Transmit circuit, transmitting pulses to send 5-level signals
HV switch circuit, implementing expansion from 64 channels into 128 channels
AFE, receiving echo signals
ATGC circuit (time gain compensation)
2.3 Probe Board
Supporting nominal probes including 192/128-element probe, phased array probe, and dual-
plane probe
Connecting between the main unit and the probe
Switching to 192-element mode inside the probe (only 129 channels are supported on the
probe board)
