I don't know about a set but National Semi used to make an ultrasonic
ranging chip set: Xmtr & Rcvr in same package LM 1812 I believe. Was
outlined in their  Linear databook a few years back.

Freq was dependent on resonant freq of transducer, 40 Khz for atmospheric
type, 200 Khz for hydrophone type (used for 'spinning neon bulb' type fish
detector).

I believe there was a trigger or gating circuit of some type.
