Influence of spectral broadening on continuous wave Doppler ultrasound spectra: a geometric approach

P A Bascom et al. Ultrasound Med Biol. 1986 May.

Abstract

A model is presented that enables the detailed effects of spectral broadening to be calculated for a continuous wave (CW) Doppler system by using geometric boundary arguments. The model assumes a uniform distribution of isotropic scatterers and treats the transmitter and receiver crystals as incremental sources and receivers. Detailed results for rectangular and circular geometries are presented in order to provide a physical understanding of the manner in which spectral broadening arises. Results are given for the circular geometry, to illustrate the manner in which the received spectrum is affected by the transducer size and distance from the vessel.
