Abstract
The frequencies chosen for ultrasound reflectometry, based on attenuation and resolution constraints, often result in overlapping echo waveforms [1–3]. Phase information [4] can be used to estimate echo contributions in reflectometry using the Maximum Entropy Method [5]. The method of analysis is presented, along with experimental verification for a simple reflecting structure.
