Abstract

The present invention concerns a process for removing all ambiguity from the measurement by the Doppler effect of the speed of a target. It consists in obtaining a signal of Doppler shift relating to a series of ultrasonic pulses sent in the direction of the target and received after their reflection onto this target, the recurrence frequency of the pulses constituting an ambiguity limit of these speed measurements, wherein the measured Doppler shift is transposed by modulating the signal received by a signal at a frequency called determination frequency, so as to bring from a known value the spectral components to be analyzed in the useful measuring band and after measuring the true speed values are worked out by adjunction of a correction that depends upon the determination frequency that is used, this process being applicable to measuring the speed of blood in the medical field.
