Zusammenfassung:A passband characteristic of a band pass filter is adapted to an examinee while a texture of an ultrasound image is maintained or is not significantly changed. A passband characteristic of a BPF is dynamically changed in accordance with a depth of an observation point (reception focus). The passband characteristic includes convex forms, and the convex forms have peaks as highest points in a gain axis direction and have widths in a frequency axis direction. A peak position is relatively changed with respect to the width while an upper limit and a lower limit of the width are substantially maintained. Accordingly, the convex forms are biased to a low-frequency side or a high-frequency side.
