The team's goal was to design a hardware system that combines an ultrasound medical imaging device with additional imaging modalities. This new system will simplify the current procedure for more effective diagnosis, decrease preparation and cleaning times, and improve the experience for the patients.
This SCOPE project supports simultaneous transmission of communication and radar signals through a phased antenna array. A phased antenna array is a grid of independent antennas that can focus different signals in different directions through constructive and destructive interference. This team deals with the selection of communications and radar waveforms that can be transmitted through a non-linear amplifier with acceptable levels of signal distortion. We have reached our conclusions through a combination of simulation and RF hardware testing.
