Zusammenfassung:An ultrasonic apparatus (100) includes an ultrasonic transducer (120), a transmitting circuit (110), a receiving circuit (140), a Q-factor measuring circuit (210), and a frequency measuring circuit (250). The ultrasonic transducer is a three-terminal ultrasonic transducer that includes a transmitting electrode (121), a receiving electrode (122), and a common electrode (123). The transmitting circuit outputs a driving signal to the transmitting electrode to cause the ultrasonic transducer to transmit ultrasonic waves. The receiving circuit receives a receive signal from the receiving electrode. The frequency measuring circuit measures a resonant frequency of the ultrasonic transducer from a reverberation signal in the receive signal. The Q-factor measuring circuit measures a Q factor of the ultrasonic transducer from the reverberation signal in the receive signal.
