Hello,
I am constructing an experiment to measure the nonlinearity of water using ultrasound. The experimental setup is as follows:
A function generator produces a tone burst sine signal into an amplifier then into an ultrasound transducer. The transducer is immersed in water perpendicular to a steel block which reflects the signal back to the transducer.
My problem is that i want the reflected signal to be directed to an oscilloscope and not go back into the amplifier. Can someone suggest any device that would direct the signal in one direction? A circulator was suggested but i am working with a frequency of 0.5 MHz.
If anything is unclear please mention and ill elaborate. Any help or suggestions is highly appreciated!
Thanks
