MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511103014 A) filed by Dit University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Oct. 25, 2025, for 'a wireless ultrasound probe method of operating the same.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Gagan Singh; and Dr. Sonika Singh.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a wireless ultrasound probe (100) is disclosed, comprising an integrated transducer head (101) with a 64-128 element piezoelectric array operating at 2-10 MHz, incorporating a convex acoustic lens (101a) and impedance-matching layer (101b) for enhanced beam focus and coupling efficiency. The probe supports real-time phased-array beamforming for dynamic imaging. An analog front-end (102) with low-noise amplification and high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion (12-16 bits) digitizes received echo signals, which are processed by a digital signal processor (103) performing beamforming, envelope detection, and Doppler imaging with sub-100 ms latency. A wireless communication module (104) using Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth protocols transmits ultrasound image data to an external device (105) at rates of 10-100 Mbps with AES-256 encryption. A microcontroller unit (106) orchestrates system functions including beam-steering, gain control, and power management. The power-management subsystem (107) includes a rechargeable battery (107a) and PMIC (107b), supporting USB-C and wireless charging. A temperature-control system (108) maintains probe temperature below 43 C using passive and/or active cooling. All components are housed within a biocompatible, IP67-rated enclosure (109) featuring an ergonomic handle (109a), user controls (110a), and status LEDs (110b). The probe (100) provides untethered, portable, real-time diagnostic ultrasound imaging for point-of-care applications, with system-on-board integration (113) on a compact PCB and low-power standby features for extended operation."
