Abstract
This disclosure deals with measuring either discontinuous or continuous impedance transitions in various media to identify or delineate the properties and nature thereof by transmitting radiant energy waves to such media to produce reflected waves therefrom, deconvoluting the outgoing and returning waves, and integrating the resulting reflection impulse-response function so as to enable appropriate interpretation of the resulting display for identification and related purposes.
