25 kHz Ultrasound Transmitter and Receiver Circuit Design for Beginners

The discussion focuses on designing beginner-level circuits for a 25 kHz ultrasonic transmitter and receiver using a specific ultrasonic transducer pair. The original poster seeks guidance on driving the transmitter and amplifying the receiver signals. A schematic created with Digi-Key's Scheme-it tool was shared, along with references to technical resources including Olympus's "Basic Ultrasonic Principles" and Murata's ultrasonic sensor application manual. Questions arose regarding the necessity of a transistor stage before the ultrasonic transducer (speaker) in the transmitter circuit and the expected signal characteristics at the outputs of the first and second operational amplifiers in the receiver circuit. Additional shared materials include example circuit diagrams and microcontroller code (assembly and hex files) for PIC microcontrollers (PIC12F508 and PIC12F629) to assist with ultrasonic signal processing. These resources aim to provide practical insights into circuit design, signal amplification, and microcontroller interfacing for ultrasonic applications at 25 kHz.
