摘要:
A detecting device for detecting a physical quantity of an object, which includes a transmission signals generating device for generating first and second transmission signals of different frequencies, an ultrasonic wave transmission device that is excited by the first and the second transmission signal, for transmitting ultrasonic pulses corresponding to the first and the second transmission signal to an object, and a signal processing device for carrying out a signal processing process on the first and the second echo. The signal processing process is such that it detects phases of the first and second echo corresponding to the first and second transmission signal, which are received by the ultrasonic wave receiving device. An indeterminacy integer times as large as 2.pi. of the phase of each of the first and second echo is determined on the basis of the information of the amplitudes of the first or the second echo, and a distance from the ultrasonic wave transmission device through an object to the ultrasonic wave receiving device along an ultrasonic wave propagating path is detected on the basis of the determined phase of the first or second echo.

An inspection apparatus utilizing a pulse compression technique is described which comprises a signal generator, a transmission/reception probe; first and second correlators and an adder. The signal generator generates a composite transmission signal consisting of signals Sap(t), Saq(t), Sbp(t) and Sbq(t) respectively based on a basic unit signal ga(t) and a sequence {p}, the signal ga(t) and a sequence {q}, a basic unit signal gb(t) and the sequence {p}, and the signal gb(t) and the sequence {q}, to the probe to transmit the composite transmission signal to a target. The first correlator performs a correlation operation of echo signals Rap(t), Raq(t), Rbp(t) and Rbq(t) corresponding to the signal Sap(t), Saq(t) and Sbq(t) by utilizing reference signals Ua(t) and Ub(t) based on the sequences to provide results Caap(t), Caaq(t), Cbbp(t) and Cbbq(t). The second correlator performs a correlation operation of the results Caap(t), Caaq(t) Cbbp(t) and Cbbq(t) by utilizing the sequences {p} and {q} to provide compressed pulses Caapp(t), Caaqq(t), Cbbpp(t) and Cbbqq(t). These pulses are summed up at the adder to provide a composite compressed pulse C having the large amplitude main lobe and small amplitude side lobes.
摘要:
An ultrasonic detecting apparatus which includes a sequence generating means and a transmission signal generating means for generating a transmission signal corresponding to the sequence. The detecting apparatus also includes a transmitting means to transmit waves, which may be ultrasonic waves, to an object and a receiving means for receiving an echo corresponding to the transmission signal. A correlation operation means performs a correlation operation with respect to the echo. In another general aspect, the sequence generating means may generate more than one sequence, some of whose auto-correlation functions produce substantially zero sidelobe in the summed result. In a further general aspect, the sequence generating means generates two or more sequences, with each of the sequences being different from the others and having substantially the same auto-correlation function as the others.

A film bulk acoustic wave device, comprising: a substrate; a bottom electrode formed on one surface of the substrate; a piezoelectric film formed on the bottom electrode; and a first top electrode formed on the piezoelectric film, further comprises a second top electrode having a larger mass load than the first top electrode, and formed on the first top electrode on the piezoelectric film when viewed from the center of the first top electrode, wherein the piezoelectric film has a high-band-cut-off-type dispersion characteristic. The cut-off frequency of a second top electrode portion piezoelectric film having a large mass load can be lower than the cut-off frequency of a first top electrode portion piezoelectric film, to thereby trap the energy of the acoustic wave in a region of the first top electrode portion side, so that good performance may be feasible.
