Abstract

Frequency broadband measurement of the characteristics of acoustic waves propagating in an object is disclosed. A time domain signal processing is described, based on narrow-band filtering of wide-band acoustic wave pulses and cross-corelation which permits to measure both phase and group velocities as a function of frequency.
