    摘要: An example method for automatically characterizing an echo contained in an ultrasonic signal generated with an ultrasonic transducer can include receiving data corresponding to the ultrasonic signal, calculating an energy ratio of the ultrasonic signal and localizing the echo using the energy ratio. The method can include windowing a portion of the ultrasonic signal around the localized echo and calculating a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and a Hilbert envelop of the windowed portion. The method can include estimating M echo parameters from the FFT and the Hilbert envelope of the windowed portion, where each of the M parameter vectors includes a plurality of echo parameters, calculating M parametric echo models based on each of the M echo parameter vectors and iteratively minimizing a difference between the windowed portion of the ultrasonic signal and a sum of the M parametric echo models.

    摘要: Spectral components of waves having one or more properties other than phase and amplitude that vary monotonically with time at a receiver, and provide retardations or lags in the variation in proportion to the times or distances travelled from the sources of the waves to the receiver. The lags denote the property values prior to departure from a source and are absent in its proximity. Orthogonality of the lags to modulated information makes them useful for ranging and for separation or isolation of signals by their source distances. Lags in frequencies and wavelengths permit multiplication of capacities of physical channels. Constancy of the lagging wavelengths along the entire path from a source to the receiver enables reception through channels or media unusable at the source wavelengths, as well as imaging at wavelengths different from the illumination.

    摘要: The invention relates to a wave-propagation-based sounding method, in which: an incident wave is emitted through a medium (1) including diffusers (2) capable of reflecting the wave; and, subsequently, signals representing a reflected wave reverberated by the medium from the incident wave are captured, said captured signals being the sum of a single scattering component and a multiple scattering component. The captured signals are processed by separating the multiple scattering component from the single scattering component by filtering at least one frequency transfer matrix representing responses between transducers from the transducer assembly.
