    Main Methods:

    • Development of a low-cost analog circuit for signal processing.
    • Extraction of maximum velocity from the Doppler signal.
    • Testing the method on signals from peripheral arteries.

    Main Results:

    • The analog method successfully extracted maximum blood velocity data.
    • Preliminary results show the potential for diagnostic information retrieval.
    • The technique is significantly less expensive than spectral analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • An affordable analog method can effectively extract key diagnostic information from Doppler signals.
    • This approach provides a cost-effective alternative for assessing blood velocity.
