Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation01:10

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next sampling...

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Ultrasound technology
  • Signal processing

Background:

  • Coded tissue harmonic imaging with pulse inversion (CTHI-PI) improves signal-to-noise ratio but can cause motion artifacts due to reduced frame rates.
  • Existing CTHI with bandpass filtering (CTHI-BF) has limitations in artifact reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel CTHI method using nonlinear chirp signals (CTHI-NC) to improve fundamental and harmonic component separation.
  • To enhance frame rates in CTHI without compromising image quality.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a nonlinear chirp signal optimized for frequency sweep rate and time duration to minimize peak range sidelobe level (PRSL).
  • Evaluated CTHI-NC performance by measuring PRSL and mainlobe width after signal compression.
  • Conducted in vitro experiments using a quadratic nonlinear chirp signal.

Main Results:

  • CTHI-NC achieved a PRSL of -40.6 dB and a mainlobe width of 2.1 μs.
  • The method utilized a nonlinear chirp signal with a center frequency of 2.1 MHz, 0.6 fractional bandwidth, and 15 μs duration.
  • Demonstrated comparable image quality to CTHI-PI.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed CTHI-NC method effectively improves frame rates in coded tissue harmonic imaging.
  • CTHI-NC offers a viable solution for reducing motion artifacts while maintaining high image quality.
