Abstract

A digital type ultrasonic holography apparatus includes a clock generator for generating a clock pulse signal having a fixed period, a transducer for transmitting spike-like ultrasonic pulses toward an object in synchronism with trigger pulses derived through the frequency division of the clock pulse signal and receiving the reflected wave from the object, a waveform shaping circuit for shaping the received wave into a digital pulse signal, a coincidence detecting circuit for narrowing the pulse width of the digital pulse signal to a magnitude shorter than the period of the clock pulse signal and judging whether or not the pulse width-narrowed digital pulse is present at the level-changing time of the clock pulse signal, thereby to generate a coincidence signal, a scanner for scanning the transducer, and a device for displaying a hologram of the object in accordance with the value of the coincidence signal and the scanning of the transducer. The ratio of the interference fringe occupied portion of the displayed hologram to the remaining portion thereof is determined by the narrowed pulse width of the digital pulse.
