摘要： An ultrasonic flow sensor having at least one ultrasonic converter (A, B) for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals (A0, B0) and a receiver unit (4) that is connected to the ultrasonic converter (A, B) and determines a zero crossing (N) of the ultrasonic signal (A0, B0) as a reception time (t0) once the ultrasonic signal (A0, B0) has exceeded a predetermined threshold value (SW). The measurement precision can be significantly improved if the receiver unit (4) determines a piece of information about an amplitude (Amp) of the ultrasonic signal (A0, B0) and varies the threshold value (SW) based on the information determined.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for determining the running time (t) of an ultrasound flow sensor (6) ultrasound signal (15) which is transmitted by an ultrasound transducer (A, B) to a measuring section (S), wherein the phase position (ΔF) of said ultrasound signal (15) is determined with respect to a reference clock (8) and a remaining part (r(t)) is determined as a measure of the running time (tmes) of the ultrasound signal (15). The measurement of the running time can be carried out in a particularly robust manner with a minimum use of hardware, when the phase position (ΔF) is determined with the aid of a quadrature-demodulation method consisting in inverting the received signal (15) in a segmented manner with the aid of a clock signal (8) and the phase of the off-set clock signal (9) and the remaining part (r(t)) is determined according to a characteristic quantity (ts) of the sound signal (15).
