Hello Forum,
I am designing an Ultrasonic Reciever and Transmitter circuit, in which the Reciever and Transmitter Transducers are connected with the same cables. That means that the Excitation signal and the Received signal will be transported by the same medium. The Excitation signal is a unipolar 400kHz square wave 0-20v and I'm protecting the Reciever transducer with a T/R switch (so the excitation signal does not excite the Reciever Transducer ), This works fine. But, when Receiving the signal I'm getting both the Receiving Transducer and the Transmitter Transducer Signals and they are basically coupled. I want to get only the Received signal from the receiver transducer. I was thinking of using a simple diode but it is not working. Do you have any suggestions? Is there any component that only blocks low amplitude voltages around 100mV. Is there are low Voltage transmitter switch. (Normally closed with high voltages open with low voltages)?
Thank you very much.
