  • Developed a scattering medium echo model using band-passed white Gaussian noise for simulations.
  • Performed extensive computer simulations to analyze flow velocity estimation for single and multiple scatterers.
  • Evaluated errors associated with the correlation method, including beamwidth modulation and flow velocity gradients.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method accurately estimates blood flow velocity by correlating echo pairs.
    • Beamwidth modulation was identified as a primary error source for uniform flow profiles.
    • Flow velocity jitter due to small gradients became a significant error in non-uniform flow.
