Abstract
A memory for temporarily storing a transmitting signal is provided in association with each channel i.e., each transducer of a probe, a transmitting signal for transmitting an ultrasonic wave of a desired waveform is formed through a computer processing, and the thus formed transmitting signal is stored in each memory. Transmitting signals are sent simultaneously to individual channels from individual memories. This ensures that a transmitting signal of a desired waveform can be applied to each channel and the transmission of an ultrasonic wave can be controlled desirably.
