ULTRASONIC RECEPTION SIGNAL CORRECTION DEVICE, ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND ULTRASONIC RECEPTION SIGNAL CORRECTION METHOD

An ultrasonic measurement apparatus extracts, from a reception signal, a plurality of partial reception signals according to overlap periods that are set by shifting the time so as to overlap partially. Then, scattering attenuation correction using a scattering attenuation correction value is performed for a frequency domain signal obtained by performing a Fourier transform of each of the plurality of partial reception signals, and an inverse Fourier transform of a corrected frequency correction signal is performed. Then, partial correction signals corresponding to the respective partial reception signals are obtained by performing an inverse Fourier transform. Then, a signal obtained by combining the partial correction signals is set as a reception correction signal after correcting the reception signal. The scattering attenuation correction value is calculated from the signal strength of incident ultrasonic waves and a sum value of the signal strength of the reception signal at each time.
