A method and system of locating discontinuities, measuring distances, locating unknown sources, and measuring the thickness of multimode dispersive medium includes sensing a multimode dispersive acoustic guided wave and frequency decomposing that wave using spectral temporal analysis; selecting a frequency which identifies a group delay of the guided wave for each mode occurring at that frequency; selecting a mode from the group delays of the selected mode, determining the group velocity from the dispersion curves and computing the desired parameter.
