Abstract

A method of operating a pulse echo ranging system comprising a transducer assembly for providing transmission and reception of high frequency energy pulses at substantially different plural frequencies. The method uses signals received by the transducer assembly to generate an echo profile for signals received at at least a first of the frequencies to enhance the recovery of data beyond that obtained from the first signal alone.
