Abstract:
Circuitry for ultrasound devices is described. A multilevel pulser is described, which can provide bipolar pulses of multiple levels. The multilevel pulser includes a pulsing circuit and pulser and feedback circuit. Symmetric switches are also described. The symmetric switches can be positioned as inputs to ultrasound receiving circuitry to block signals from the receiving circuitry.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus of  claim 3 , where the ultrasonic transducer is a first ultrasonic transducer of a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, the pulser is a first pulser of a plurality of pulsers, the feedback circuit is a first feedback circuit of a plurality of feedback circuits, the control signal is a first control signal of a plurality of control signals, and the input signal is a first input signal of a plurality of input signals;\n wherein the plurality of feedback circuits are configured to control the plurality of control signals to spatially apodize the plurality of input signals provided to the plurality of ultrasonic transducers.
