In the receiver section the voltage signals produced by the transducer, which<br />

represent the received ultrasonic pulses, are amplified. The amplified radio<br />

frequency (RF) signal is available as an output <strong>for</strong> display or capture <strong>for</strong><br />

signal processing. Control functions associated with the receiver circuit<br />

include:<br />

1. Signal rectification (The RF signal can be viewed as positive half wave,<br />

negative half wave or full wave.)<br />

2. Filtering to shape and smooth return signals<br />

3. Gain, or signal amplification<br />

4. Reject control
