Zusammenfassung: | A method for generating ultrasound transmission waves comprising the steps of:a) providing an array of electroacoustic transducer each one being connected to an electric excitation signal generator by a dedicated feeding channel;b) feeding at least a part of the electroacoustic transducers with a pulsed electric signal having a predetermined frequency, a predetermined amplitude, a predetermined length or duration and a predetermined phase or a predefined delay with respect to the pulsed electric signals fed to the adjacent transducer elements, the said pulsed electric excitation signals comprising a sequence of pulses;c) modulating each or at least part of the pulsed electric signals by feeding to the transducer elements only a predetermined portion of the pulses of the said pulsed electric signals.The step c) is carried out by cutting the duration of each pulse of the pulsed electric excitation signal according to a predetermined time period. |
