Digital Signal Processing for Improvement of Resolution in A-mode

In this paper, we describe the digital signal-processing for ultrasonic echo signals for the improvement of range resolution. The problem is to find the magnitude of analytic signals that are consistent with the arrival-rate of energy. It is also baaed upon the fact that the shapes of echo signals do not change, although the ampli- tudes and widths of the echo signals become smaller and wider than those of the transmitted signals. We have made the improvement in range resolution by using the quadrature-low pass filter and the area filter which are made on the basis of the theory discussed above.
