Receiving ultrasonic transducer picking up EM noise
(1/1)
raff5184:
Hi,
I am designing an ultrasonic receiver, to get data in 120-180 kHz bandwidth. My receiving transducer is connected to a commercial pre-amp (50dB gain). The transducer however is picking up noise about 150 mV peak-to-peak. Seems to be white noise.  What are the approaches to reduce the noise? I already covered the transducer with epoxy and it did help, but not much.

the pre-amp has adjustable filter bandwidth but increasing the filtering doesn't help, makes the noise worse

Check the power rails for SMPS noise. Shield the preamp, use coax or twisted pair for transducer cabling.
