ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic Doppler blood flow meter comprises a transmit-receive transducer transmitting ultrasonic wave toward and into a living body and receiving an echo signal, quadrature detectors detecting a real (R) component and an imaginary (I) component of the receiving echo signal respectively, A/D converters converting analog output signals of the quadrature detectors into digital signals respectively, a converter subjecting the R and I components to quadrature transformation to generate output signals representing the absolute value and phase angle (.theta.) respectively of the received echo signal, and a signal processing circuit calculating the mean value of the differences (.DELTA..theta..sub.i =.theta..sub.i -.theta..sub.i-1) between the phase angles (.theta..sub.i) and their preceding ones (.theta..sub.i-1) detected when the ultrasonic wave is transmitted and the echo signal is received a predetermined number of times. In the signal processing circuit, the phase angle differences (.DELTA..theta.) are each resolved into an X-axis component (cos .DELTA..theta.) and a Y-axis component (sin.DELTA..theta.), and, after calculation of the mean values X and Y of n consecutive X-axis and Y-axis components respectively, the mean Doppler shift phase angle .DELTA..theta.=tan.sup.-1 (Y/X) is calculated on the basis of the calculated mean values X and Y.
