An ultrasonic apparatus is disclosed that includes a transducer having a
plurality of transducer elements, a controller operatively connected to
the transducer and driving the transducer elements to produce a first
ultrasonic transmitting beam having a first frequency and a second
ultrasonic transmitting beam having a second frequency; and a processor
operatively connected to said transducer for forming and moving reception
beams to receive echo signals and extracting frequency components
corresponding to said first ultrasonic transmitting beam and said second
ultrasonic transmitting beam.
