AI Thread Summary
To amplify a 2 MHz signal of 80 mVp-p for ultrasound sensors, a minimum gain of 10 is required. Standard operational amplifiers may not be suitable for this frequency, so specialized ICs or pre-built amplifiers are recommended. Products like the AD8250 instrumentation amplifier and Texas Instruments' OPT101P transimpedance amplifier are suggested as potential solutions. Mini-Circuits also offers a range of pre-built amplifiers that could meet the frequency requirements. Selecting the right amplifier is crucial for effective signal amplification in ultrasound applications.

i am working on ultrasound sensors. At the receiving end i have 2 MHz signal of 80 mVp-p. i need to amplify it at-least by 10 times. Pleases suggest me an appropriate method.

Additionally, i need to know if normal opamps work in 2 MHz signal? if not, are separate ICs available for that?

please give your suggestions friends.

with regards, palani.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
