I am working on a system processing ultrasonic echo reflection. The transmitter creates a short ultrasonic pulse and the receiver analyses the reflection.
If I send two pulses (back to back or with some small defined delay) I receive two superimposed reflections. I can process these superimposed reflection with the IIR filter described in this post:
Trivial echo separationTrivial echo separation
to restore the single reflection.
My question is, could I get a signal with better signal to noise ratio by using two or more transmit pulses compared to the signal from a single pulse?
