These differences are certainly due to the fact that our simulations do not take into account the diffraction and nonlinear propagation effects. There is a non negligible discrepancy between simulations and experiments. Results and discussions: We show through simulations and in vitro experiments that our adaptive imaging technique gives: 1) in case of simulations, a gain of acoustic contrast which can reach 9 dB compared to the traditional technique without optimization and 2) for in vitro experiments, a gain which can reach 18 dB. Contrast agent was then injected into a small container filled with water. In vitro experiments were carried out using a transducer oper-ating at 2 MHz and using a programmable waveform genera-tor. Methods and Materials: Simulations were carried out for encapsulated microbubbles of 2 microns by considering the modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation for 2 MHz transmit fre-quency and for various pressure levels (20 kPa up to 420kPa). Two algorithms have been proposed to find an US excitation for which the frequency was optimal with microbubbles. We suggest an adaptive imaging technique which selects the optimal transmit frequency that maximizes the acoustic contrast.

However it is known that the insonified medium is time-varying and therefore an adapted time-varying excitation is expected. NB1 and Cat.Introduction: Since the introduction of ultrasound (US) contrast imaging, the imaging systems use a fixed emitting frequency.

The 5 GHz band emits slighlty more power with the high being 23 dBm. As this is a log scale, these values translate to 100 mW (100) for high, 32 mW (32) for medium, and 10 mW (10), for low. For Narrow Band IoT system operates in HD-FDD duplex mode. I just spoke to technical support via their live chat and they indicated that on the 2.4 GHz band, high is 20dBm, medium is 15 dBm, and low is 10 dBm. 3GPP has defined a set of frequency bands for which NB-IoT can be used. 3GPP TS 36.101 from Release 13 provides the list of the supported bands: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 66 and Release 14 added the bands: 11, 25, 31 and 70.
