Frequency

  • Frequency: number of cycles in unit of time.
  • The unit  is hertz (Hz)
  • Frequency has an inverse relationship to  
    wavelength
  • Main determinant factor of axial resolution
    of an image.
  • Main determinant factor of attenuation.
    Attenuation coefficiency are equal to half
    of operating frequency.
  • The propagation speed  of sound wave
    in a medium has nothing to do with
    frequency.
  • Active element in a transducer produce a
    pulse with a series of frequencies. The range
    between lowest and highest are called
    bandwidth.
  • The frequency of a transducer can not be
    changed by operator.
