ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to ultrasound apparatus for measuring the flow speed of a fluid, the apparatus comprising first and second ultrasound transducers disposed at points that are spaced apart in the direction of fluid flow, a transmitter module, a receiver module, and switch means organized so that each of the first and second transducers operates alternately as a transmitter and as a receiver. The transmitter module includes at least one transmission signal generator whose output is permanently connected via two logic gates each followed by a respective resistive divider bridge to a respective first terminal of the first and second transducer, and in that the first and second switch means are interposed respectively between the first terminals of said first and second transducers and the receiver module.
