Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A system for tissue characterization using an acousto-electric effect comprising:
a. one or more acoustic waveform generators for generating plurality of waveforms;
b. at least one waveform generation controller;
c. at least one set of electrodes;
d. at least one electric signal amplification circuitry connectable to at least one of said at least one set of electrodes to generate an amplified signal; and
e. at least one signal processing unit comprising instructions for analyzing received reflected signals from said amplified signals and to generate information indicative to at least one property of multiple locations within a target tissue taking into account said acousto-electric effect;
wherein said at least one waveform generation controller comprises instructions for:
i. generating said plurality of waveforms according to at least one parameter, each of said plurality of waveforms comprising a coded sequence which is different from other coded sequences comprised in other generated waveforms; said plurality of different coded sequences being used in said analyzing by said at least one signal processing unit; said at least one parameter being a low maximal absolute value of cross correlation between said sequences thereby providing a maximal signal to interference ratio between generated waveforms; and
ii. transmitting said generated plurality of waveforms;
wherein said analyzing comprises separating contributions from each of said received signals based on said difference in said coding sequence of each of said waveforms.
