Abstract
The illustrated apparatus comprises an ultrasonic array and an actuating system for actuating the transducer elements of the array in groups with an alternating number of transducer elements. Actuation proceeds, in an interlaced transmission/receiving cadence, in groups with an even-numbered and in groups with an odd-numbered count of transducer elements such that each connected even-numbered and odd-numbered group, in relation to the previously connected group, is, in a first clock interval, first receiver for the echo signals of the transmission beam of the preceding group, and, in a following clock interval, is switched over to transmission. The apparatus is used particularly in electromedical ultrasonic sectional image diagnosis.
