    摘要: While keeping a propeller located in a negative direction of a y-axis turning, transmission of acoustic waves from vibrating elements of a transducer unit is interrupted. Reference signals “A” and “B” which are receiving beam signals having principal acoustic axes oriented in a propeller direction are generated from received signals obtained by “A” and “B” group vibrating elements, respectively. Next, adjustment factors used for removing propeller noise from received signals obtained by vibrating elements on positive and negative sides of an x-axis are calculated by performing arithmetic operation on time-series data on the received signals obtained by the positive and negative sides vibrating elements and on time-series data on the reference signals “A” and “B”, respectively. When performing underwater sounding operation by transmitting acoustic waves, a product of the reference signal “A” or “B” and the adjustment factor is subtracted from the received signal obtained by each of the positive and negative sides vibrating elements, respectively.

    摘要: A system and method of performing sonar range estimations in a noisy sonar environment. The system includes a sensor, a transmitter, a receiver, a plurality of band-pass filters, a cross correlator, and a data analyzer. The transmitter transmits a pulse through a transmission medium. The pulse travels through the transmission medium until it strikes an object, which returns an echo to the sensor. The sensor provides the echo to the receiver, which provides an indication of the echo to the band-pass filters. The respective band-pass filters provide filtered versions of the echo and pulse to the cross correlator, which performs multiple cross correlation operations on the filtered echo and pulse. The cross correlator provides output data to the data analyzer, which uses the data to estimate the SNR in the environment and to determine a pulse center frequency corresponding to the estimated SNR. By controlling the center frequency of pulses emitted by the transmitter based on information provided by the data analyzer, the system obtains sonar range estimations with increased accuracy.

    摘要: The invention provides for improved signal to noise ratios in evaluation techniques. This is done by acquiring a signal, processing it to obtain a complex form thereof, obtaining a filtering factor from the complex form and processing the acquired signal with the filtering factor. The signal may be areturned ultrasonic, radar or sonar signal which may be reflected from a suitably sharp pulse. In particular, the invention may he used to evaluate articles to detect defects therein. In a preferred form, the complex form is filtered with a number of complex filters and the phases of the complex filtered signals determined. These phases are then used to provide the filtering factor.

    摘要: An ultrasonic distance measure includes: transmitting and receiving ultrasonic transducers 1, 2 with changeable resonant/resonance frequencies; a driving section 151 generating a frequency-modulated drive signal to drive the transducer 1 and transmit an ultrasonic wave; a transmitting control voltage generating section 152 for generating a control voltage to change the resonant/resonance frequency of the transducer 1 and applying it to the transducer 1 in transmitting the ultrasonic wave; a receiving control voltage generating section 153 for generating a control voltage to change the resonant/resonance frequency of the transducer 2 and applying it to the transducer 2 when a controllable amount of time delay has passed since the drive signal was generated; and a receiving section 154 for sensing the intensity of a signal received as the ultrasonic wave at the transducer 2. The ultrasonic wave is transmitted from the transducer 1 toward an object a number of times, reflected, and then received at the transducer 2 with the time delay changed. The distance measure calculates propagation time of the ultrasonic wave based on the time delay that makes the receiving section receive the ultrasonic wave as a signal with the highest intensity, and measures the object's distance based on the propagation time.

    摘要: An ultrasonic sonar has a transceiver equipped with an ultrasonic oscillator. An ultrasonic wave is transmitted from the transceiver. The ultrasonic wave reflected from an obstacle is received by the ultrasonic oscillator to detect the obstacle. The transmission frequency of the ultrasonic wave is set to be different from the reverberation frequency. When the obstacle is detected, a microcomputer converts the analog signal received by the ultrasonic oscillator into a digital signal, performs a frequency transform of this signal by Fourier transform to extract only the transmission frequency component, and performs an inverse transform.
