  • Publication number: 20170124703
    Abstract: A signal synthesizing unit performs aperture synthesis of output signals from conversion element groups which are arranged in a matrix and convert ultrasonic waves into electric signals, and sequentially outputs a first image signal, for every transmission of the ultrasonic waves. A signal addition unit adds the first image signals output from the signal synthesizing unit together for each group so as to output a second image signal. An adaptive signal processing unit calculates an adaptive weight on the basis of the second image signal, and synthesizes the second image signals with each other.
