Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting ultrasonic waves, the apparatus including a microchip (300) for driving a resonant circuit and a resonant circuit which is at least one of an inductance (L) capacitance (C) circuit (LC tank), an antenna and a piezoelectric transducer. The microchip (300) is a single unit which includes a plurality of interconnected embedded components and subsystems including at least an oscillator (315), a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generator subsystem (329), an analogue to digital converter (ADC) subsystem (318) and a digital to analogue converter (DAC) subsystem (327).
