There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to minimize and integrate intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) system on a guidewire and to develop wireless data communication for general capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) based ultrasound imaging system. Several innovative system- and circuit-level techniques are proposed towards the development of CMUT modeling, optimizing front-end circuits, wireless data communication, and inductive power transmission to reduce the system size and the required number of interconnections.
