| Abstract | Ultrasound systems require high-voltage (HV) transmitters to excite the transducers. Compared to digital pulsers, class-AB power amplifiers have many advantages, such as lower harmonics and the capability of generating complex arbitrary waveforms for Coded-Excitation Mode and other advanced ultrasound imaging modes. However, the need to suppress cross-over distortion and achieve high slew-rate usually requires large biasing current. This significantly degrades the power efficiency of the system, limiting the number of integrated transmitter channels in a single package. This paper presents a digital feedback pre-distortion system for ultrasound HV class-AB power amplifier (PA) to reduce the harmonic distortions while at the same time improving the power efficiency. The proposed system searches the error coefficients of the output feedback signal using the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm, and stores the error data in the look-up table (LUT) memory. On the next cycle the errors are used to equalize the ideal input waveforms with the negative harmonic components to cancel the amplifier's non-linear response. The proposed algorithm applies to both constant magnitude sine-wave and the Morlet Wavelet. The measurement results show that the proposed system reduces the second-order harmonics (HD2) in the output sine-wave signals by 20 dB and the third-order harmonics (HD3) by 15 dB, while increasing the amplifier power efficiency by 18%. The proposed technique reduces the nonlinear higher-order effects of the PA to improve the ultrasound transmitting signal fidelity, which relieving the requirement on amplifier biasing current and supply voltage headroom. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
