The ultrasonic transducer is driven by a coded pulse to increase emission power and SNR of ultrasonic echo. In this paper, we introduced the principle of coded excitation and the transient operating characteristic of ultrasonic transducer firstly. Then, we designed and implemented the 4-bit Barker coded pulse transmitting of ultrasonic signal. In the experiment, the coded excitation pulse outputed by the transmitting circuit is consistent with the transient operating characteristic of ultrasonic transducer. And the reflected ultrasonic echo from the glass wall possesses the character of 4-bit Barker code, which is identical with the simulating result by Matlab. Furthermore, the signal’s amplitude is higher. Keywords: coded excitation; transducer; ultrasonic endoscope; ultrasonic signal 1 引言 医学超声内窥镜是内窥镜技术与超声传感技术、微机电技术、现代计算机技术等高新技术不断发展、融合的产物，是当前应用前景非常广阔的医疗仪器[1]。本课题组设计的用于检查胃部病灶的超声内窥镜，将微型超声探头通过电子内窥镜的活检钳道送入人体，由前置微型电机驱动超声换能器旋转[2]，进行超声扫描，获得胃壁各个断层的组织学特征，这样能够较早的发现组织病变。与体外超声相比，探头与器官间距离短，避免了脂肪、体腔内气体对成像的影响，获得的图像信息要比体表上获得的扫描
