Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging system includes a transmitter using a memory to store waveshape and frequency data for energizing a transducer array. The data for multiple waveshapes is simultaneously read from memory and decoded by a demultiplexer so that data for a selected one of the waveshape can be sent to transducer array.
