Abstract: An ultrasonic system and an ultrasonic method with adaptive overflow and gain control are provided. The present disclosure uses two-stage gain controls to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and to achieve the correct analysis of results. The first stage adopts an analog gain, and monitors whether the signal may overflow or its signal strength is too weak, and adjusts the gain value as large as possible, without causing overflow in order to improve the SNR. The second stage adopts a digital gain. In the second stage, all the amplified gain-containing data adjusted in the first stage are received, and an amplified gain-containing data segment is sequentially retrieved in chronological order, and the amplified gain-containing data segment is converted into a same-gain data segment having the same gain. Finally, the same-gain data segment is provided to a Doppler signal analyzer for analysis.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for decoding a codeword encoded by a linear block code. A method may comprise performing a first decoding on a codeword using a first decoder, determining a number of satisfied check nodes and a number of unsatisfied check nodes for a symbol value of the codeword for a decoding result of the first decoding, generating a soft log-likelihood ratio (LLR) for the symbol value based on the number of satisfied check nodes and the number of unsatisfied check nodes, and performing a second decoding using a second decoder with the soft LLR as an input to the second decoder.
