Features

Emitter

• —Number of transmitters: up to 128.
• —Probing pulse voltage: -50 to -180 Volts per 50 ohm load.
• —Probing pulse shape: rectangular, negative.
• —Probe pulse width: from 12.5 ns to 800 ns, adjustable in 2 ns increments.
• —Front duration: 9 ns ± 3 ns (amplitude increase from 10% to 90%).
• —Drop duration: 20 ns ± 5 ns (amplitude decay from 90% to 10%).
• —Output impedance: 50 ohms.
• —Pulse repetition rate: up to 15 kHz, depending on the pulse width, probing voltage, sampling frequency, and monitoring range.
• —Probing pulse delay: from 0 ns to 12.8 microseconds in 0.25 ns increments.

Receiver

• —Number of receivers: 128 (16 MUX 8).
• —Input impedance: 50 ohms, other values are implemented if necessary.
• —Threshold value of input voltage: 100 µV.
• —Max. input voltage value: 10 VSS.
• —Dynamic range of the amplifying path: 0–100 dB, in 0.1 dB increments.
• —Type of amplifying path: linear.
• —HRF (Temporary sensitivity adjustment):
• —Dynamic range: 0–80 dB with a 0.1 dB installation step, 256 reference points.
• —Minimum distance between the reference points: 1 microsecond. The dynamic range of the RF is reduced by the value of the base gain.

• —Frequency range of the amplifying path: from 500 kHz to 20 MHz (level -3 dB).
• —Analog filters: 2 bandpass filters at selected frequencies.
• —Operating modes: Echo-pulse, separate-combined.
• —Signal delay in the channel: precise setting from 3.2 ns to 14.8 ns in 10 ps increments; rough installation from 12.5 ns to 819 microseconds with a step of 12.5 ns.

Any ultrasonic sensor element can function as both an emitter and a receiver.
