Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing of a signal in which a variation in phase between a transmitted and reflected pulse is modeled, as is the amplitude of the pulse. The modeled phase and amplitude are used to smooth the data by reducing phase noise present on the signal thereby enhancing the signal to noise ratio.
