Original Abstract Submitted
a measurement and imaging instrument capable of beamforming with high speed and high accuracy without approximate calculation. the instrument includes a reception unit which receives a wave arriving from a measurement object to generate a reception signal; and an instrument main body which performs a lateral modulation while superposing two waves in a two-dimensional case and three or four waves in a three-dimensional case in beamforming processing of the reception signal in which at least one wave arriving from the measurement object is processed as being transmitted or received in the axial direction or directions symmetric with respect to the axial direction to generate a multi-dimensional reception signal, performs hilbert transform with respect to the multi-dimensional reception signal, and performs partial derivative processing or one-dimensional fourier transform to generate analytic signals of the multi-dimensional reception signals of the two waves or the three or four waves.
