Q

Coded Excitation

A

resolution enhancement compression (REC), which allow the axial resolution and bandwidth of the imaging system to be enhanced [1]. In addition to improvements in terms of axial resolution, the REC technique has the typical coded excitation and pulse compression benefits, such as deeper penetration due to improvement in echo signal-to-noise ratio

Q

Compression/Dynamic Range

A
  • Ratio of the largest to the smallest amplitude or power that a system can handle is called Dynamic Range
