ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for obtaining ultrasonic images of a body to be inspected by selectively using a plurality of ultrasonic vibrating elements having different frequency characteristics, including a chirp signal generating circuit for generating a chirp signal selected from a plurality of chirp signals each corresponding to respective ultrasonic vibrating elements, a plurality of pulse compression circuits each having a reference wave signal corresponding to respective chirp signals and compressing the echo signal by deriving a correlation of the echo signal with the selected reference signal, and a switching circuit for selecting one of the pulse compression circuits in accordance with the selected chirp signal corresponding to the ultrasonic vibrating element to be used.
