The uncertainty inherent in high-resolution acoustic pulse-echo distance measuring systems which depend on threshold detection is overcome by transmitting a multi- cycle shot of acoustic energy having a sharply peaked amplitude profile, and locating the peak amplitude of a received echo. The peaked amplitude is achieved by timing the duration of energization of a transducer producing the shot so that energization is terminated before the amplitude of oscillation of the transducer has reached a maximum. This produces a shot which has a definite largest cycle, which should in turn produce an echo having a definite largest cycle.
