Abstract:
Pulses are transmitted into a scene by an array of the transducers, wherein each pulse has wideband ultrasound frequency, wherein the pulses are transmitted simultaneously, and wherein a pattern of the wideband ultrasound frequencies in each pulse is unique with respect to the patterns of each other pulse. The pulses as received when the pulse are reflected by the scene and objects in the scene. Each received pulse is sampled and decomposed using a Fourier transform to produce frequency coefficients, which are stacked to produce a linear system modeling a reflectivity of the scene and the objects. Then, a recovery method is applied to the linear system to recover the reflectivity of the scene and the objects.
