High Speed Wireless Video Transmission for Handheld Ultrasonic System

Abstract

Portable ultrasound equipment has been widely used in emergency, bedside patrol, and chronic disease management. Higher requirements have been put forward for some applications. However, the existing portable ultrasonic equipment still has some problems, such as low wireless transmission rate, high power consumption, and unreliable wireless transmission. To resolve these problems, we propose and implement a wireless transmission system for handheld ultrasonic application. With embedded Linux as the operating system, the paper describes the circuit design and its implementation, as well as system software design. The designed system has been tested. The experiment results show that the transmission rate of the system can reach 367 Mbps. In addition, the system has low power consumption. The stable transmission distance can reach up to 9m.
