International ClassesG01N 029/00G03B 042/00 Foreign Application Priority Data1985-06-20 CHAbstractFor reducing speckle in echo signals derived from reflections of pulsed coherent waves, the echo signals are subjected to amplitude and phase/frequency demodulation and the resultant amplitude and phase/frequency data are multiplied to generate an image signal. Selective control of the multiplication process may be provided in accordance with signal amplitude and/or signal-to-noise ratio.Other References
