Mode two: in order to overcome the problem that in mode one, calculated amount is larger, can according to the statistical value of pulse relative peak or measured value, determine that preset value is the secondary lobe discrimination threshold of all pulses, that is, all pulses all use a fixing threshold value to carry out secondary lobe as secondary lobe discrimination threshold to search.
In step S204, according to described secondary lobe discrimination threshold, in the Preset Time before and after described peak value of pulse, search the interference side-lobe signal in described digital signal.
In the present embodiment, can in current PRF pre-and post-peaking Preset Time, such as: Preset Time can be 3us, searches the pulse that pulse relative peak is less than pulse secondary lobe discrimination threshold.

9/ L, according to the feature of optical method, using optical method to test the result obtained should than 204 × 10
9/ L is more higher.By contrasting the result of upper table, can clearly find out: before rejecting interference secondary lobe, the hematoblastic measured value of optical method reaches more than 2 times of the hematoblastic measured value of impedance method, serious distortion; After rejecting interference secondary lobe, optical method blood platelet measured value returns to normal level, comparatively close with impedance method blood platelet measured value.
