    Abstract: A method for detecting an object within a surrounding area of a vehicle, includes: repeatedly transmitting wave pulses into the surrounding area; repeatedly receiving wave pulses, which correspond to the transmitted wave pulses reflected by the objects; detecting the object with the aid of a signal representation of the received wave pulses, and ascertaining at least one signal characteristic of a first received wave pulse. The detecting of the object includes: comparing the curve in the form of the signal characteristic of the first received wave pulse to the curve of a further received wave pulse, which was received after the first received wave pulse, location information of the object being corrected in light of the comparison.

    Abstract: A method for amplifying an echo signal, in which an analog echo signal suitable for detection of a vehicle's surroundings is amplified by a gain dependent on the transit time of the echo signal, the analog echo signal being amplified by an amplifier having a plurality of outputs, each having a different gain, and a downstream A/D converter having a time-variable reference voltage. In the process, there is a switch between the different outputs of the amplifier at predefined switching points in time, and the reference voltage of the A/D converter varies over time between the switching points in time in such a way that the echo signal is present at the output of the A/D converter with a transit time-dependent total gain having a predefined characteristic.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic measuring system is described for detecting an obstacle using a resonant transducer element for transmitting an ultrasonic pulse and for generating a received signal which includes the ultrasonic echo pulse reflected from the obstacle, the transducer element generating a decay signal having its resonance frequency after transmitting an ultrasonic pulse. The ultrasonic measuring system includes an evaluation unit having a control unit which is designed to activate the transducer element for transmitting the ultrasonic pulse with the aid of a frequency-modulated transmitted signal generated by the control unit, the frequency modulation taking place with the aid of a modulation signal in such a way that the to signature of the ultrasonic pulse differs from that of the decay signal. The evaluation unit is designed to recognize the echo pulse based on an evaluation of a correlation signal which is generated with the aid of at least one correlation filter and which originates from the correlation of the signal generated by the resonant transducer element with the transmitted signal. Furthermore, a corresponding method is provided for detecting an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound, as well as a vehicle assistance system having the ultrasonic measuring system.
