  • Method of generating ultrasound and ultrasound generator
    Patent number: 11799563
    Abstract: A method of generating ultrasound by driving an array of ultrasonic transducers comprises a charge transfer procedure. The charge transfer procedure comprises switching a terminal of a first ultrasonic transducer of the array, at a first electric potential, to a charge distribution bus; switching a terminal of a second ultrasonic transducer of the array, at a second electric potential different than the first potential, to the charge distribution bus; and allowing charge to flow between the first ultrasonic transducer and the second ultrasonic transducer through the charge distribution bus.
    Type: Grant
