PULSE AMPLIFIER FOR DRIVING ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS
摘要
Embodiments of the invention include improved radioirequency (RF) pulse amplifier systems that incorporate an energy array comprising multiple capacitors connected in parallel. The energy array extends the maximum length of pulses and the maximum achievable peak power output of the amplifier when compared to similar systems. Embodiments also include systems comprising the amplifier configured to drive a load, wherein the load may include one or more ultrasound (e.g., piezoelectric) transducers. Related methods of using the amplifier are also provided.
