The two TR32 Boards in the Front-End Processor generate the strong bursts transmitted by the probes as ultrasound into the body. The Transmit bursts are routed from the TR32 Boards via the Probe and MUX Board (P&M), to the ultrasound probe located on the board.
Weak ultrasound echoes from blood cells and body structure are received by the probes and routed via the Probe & MUX Board back to the TR32 Boards. The TR32 Boards amplify these signals, convert them to a digital signal and do the beam forming.
Vivid-i™ and Vivid-q™ internal electronics are divided into three main components:
• Front End (FE) Processor
• Back End Processor (BEP)
• DC/DC Power Supply (DC/DC PS)
For both Vivid-i™ and Vivid-q™ systems, internal electronics comprise a single card cage that contains
both the FEP and the BEP.
