Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This work presents a binary correlation-based ultrasonic ranging system that supports versatile signal modulation schemes. It transmits ultrasonic waves with distinct characteristics in consecutive measurement operations and employs a set of signal detectors to identify the originating excitation of the received echo signals, thereby effectively mitigating cross-measurement interference. Design equations supporting diverse modulation schemes are presented, and the factors affecting system performance are discussed. Experimental results obtained with the developed hardware system demonstrate its ability to perform accurate measurements over extended distances and under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Furthermore, the system effectively distinguishes echo signals generated by different excitation waves.
