Large Amplitude Harmonic Vibration under Pulse Doppler Measurement

A flow velocity or tissue motion can be measured by pulse Doppler method. However, when the method is applied to a sinusoid motion or harmonic vibration, the estimation result is deviated. In this paper, the generalized theory of pulse Doppler measurement to the sinusoid motion is explained and the relation between the estimation deviation and the real value is given. Furthermore, a special case of binary velocity estimation is expanded and simulated with different parameters. This simulation result suggested that different selection of parameters may fundamentally affect the output of pulse Doppler estimation.
