(57) Ultrasonic gas/liquid flow meter with a Wshaped path inside the tube. The two transducers (101, 102; 201, 202) are offset axially from the execution of known geometry with a W-shaped measurement section and/or are set at an angle such that the transducers and the W-shaped path are not situated orthogonally in relation to each other.

The invention relates to a digital distortion generator (pre- distortion or post-distortion generator) for the transmitting/receiving devices of a digital communication system with complex amplitude modulation. A distortion generator of this type, particularly as a pre-distortion generator when a digital pulse- shaping filter disposed in front of it is used, is intended to permit effective compen...
