Short summary
We present an eight-channel evaluation board for ultrasound sonography and photoacoustic imaging. High frame rates enable averaging, improving signal-to-noise ratio. The board integrates a programmable preamplifier and an analog front-end with 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, with data transmitted via Ethernet for PC evaluation. Gain distribution and its effect on signal-to-noise ratio in a multichannel photoacoustic receive chain are quantitatively characterized at 540 frames per second.
