Abstract:
A Doppler blood velocity measuring device is described which includes anti-aliasing circuitry. The anti-aliasing circuitry is based upon the use of a multigate Doppler unit (12) which receives Doppler shift frequency information from various depth ranges. Thereafter, the Doppler frequencies received are corrected by adding a correction frequency to the perceived Doppler frequency with the correction frequency selected based on the assumption that blood flow velocity cannot change drastically between adjacent depths.
