Thus, higher-amplitude input voltage signals for class-C power amplifiers are required. However, high-amplitude input signals generate unwanted harmonic signals. Therefore, a novel bias circuit was proposed to suppress the harmonic signals generated by class-C power amplifiers, which improves the output voltage amplitudes. To verify the proposed idea, the input harmonic signals when using a harmonic-reduced bias circuit (\u221261.31 dB, \u221289.092 dB, \u221290.53 dB, and \u221290.32 dB) were measured and were found to be much lower than those when using the voltage divider bias circuit (\u221257.19 dB, \u221273.49 dB, \u221270.97 dB, and \u221273.61 dB) at 25 MHz, 50 MHz, 75 MHz, and 100 MHz, respectively. To further validate the proposed idea, the pulse-echo measurements were compared using the bias circuits. The peak-to-peak echo amplitude and bandwidth of the piezoelectric transducer, measured when using a harmonic-reduced bias circuit (27.07 mV and 37.19%), were higher than those achieved with a voltage divider circuit (18.55 mV and 22.71%). Therefore, the proposed scheme may be useful for ultrasound instruments with low sensitivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23094438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]],"date-time":"2023-05-01T12:12:11Z","timestamp":1682943131000},"page":"4438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Harmonic-Reduced Bias Circuit for Ultrasound Transducers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Hojong","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Gachon University, 1342 Seongnam-daero, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam 13120, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Daniels, J.M., and Hoppmann, R.A.
