The left picture above is the original picture, and the right one is circled by a red circle. In the red circle, 
there  are  peaks  with  regular  spacing,  which  are  regularly  distributed.  This  is  a  representative 
electromagnetic  interference  caused  by  the  inverter.  Here  the  two  lines  below  the  baseline  have 
values, but these values are all caused by electromagnetic interference and have no meaning. 

The left picture in the above figure is the original picture, and the right picture is the one I circled in red. 
The box in the right picture selects the interference waveform. The ellipse selects the real echo. The 
interference waveform is much higher than the real echo, Ultrasound can not be identified.

Figure  9  is  more  interesting.  The  oval  circle  is  the  real  reflected  wave,  and  the  square  circle  is  the 
interference  wave  from  the  inverter.  Although  there  is  interference  from  the  inverter,  the  reflected 
signal  strength  on  the  water  surface  is  significantly  higher  than  the  interference  signal  from  the 
inverter. Is the field test data correct.
