Abstract
A self-service terminal has a fascia. A transmittersends a chirped ultrasonic pulse across a region R of the fascia. The pulse interacts with the region R and the region R responds by emitting an output. A receiverreceives the output and produces an electrical signal corresponding to the output. A frequency analysing moduletransforms the electrical signal into a frequency response.
