摘要： An ultrasonic measuring system is described for detecting an obstacle using a resonant transducer element for transmitting an ultrasonic pulse and for generating a received signal which includes the ultrasonic echo pulse reflected from the obstacle, the transducer element generating a decay signal having its resonance frequency after transmitting an ultrasonic pulse. The ultrasonic measuring system includes an evaluation unit having a control unit which is designed to activate the transducer element for transmitting the ultrasonic pulse with the aid of a frequency-modulated transmitted signal generated by the control unit, the frequency modulation taking place with the aid of a modulation signal in such a way that the to signature of the ultrasonic pulse differs from that of the decay signal. The evaluation unit is designed to recognize the echo pulse based on an evaluation of a correlation signal which is generated with the aid of at least one correlation filter and which originates from the correlation of the signal generated by the resonant transducer element with the transmitted signal. Furthermore, a corresponding method is provided for detecting an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound, as well as a vehicle assistance system having the ultrasonic measuring system.

摘要： A method for acoustically sensing an area is described. An acoustic transmit pulse is transmitted into the area by an acoustic transducer and a received signal is acquired with the aid of the transducer, in order to receive the transmit pulse reflected back from the area. Within a post-pulse oscillation time of the transducer, which directly follows the emission of the transmit pulse, the actual phase response of the received signal is determined. In the event the actual phase response deviates from a predefined setpoint phase response, an object is detected within the area. Also described is a device for acoustically sensing an area, which is designed to carry out the method.

摘要： In a method and a device for determining the position of an object in relation to a vehicle, for use in a driver assistance system of the vehicle, a first ultrasound pulse is transmitted by an ultrasound sensor situated on the vehicle, the ultrasound pulse including multiple predefined transmission frequencies which result in a variation of the directional characteristic of the ultrasound sensor. The transmitted first ultrasound pulse is reflected on the object and is received again as a first echo pulse. A frequency spectrum of the first echo pulse is subsequently determined, and a first absolute value of a relative offset angle of the object is determined as a function of the frequency spectrum of the first echo pulse and the directional characteristics.

摘要： The present invention relates to a radar measuring device which, with a simple design, ensures reliable distance determination even when a mixed signal is zero, and a method for operating a radar measuring device. The radar measuring device includes: A high-frequency oscillator (11) which emits two different carrier frequency signals (F1, F2), A first switching device (14) for switching the carrier frequency signals (F1, F2) as a function of first pulse signals (P1) and emitting radar pulse signals (T1, 2), A transmission antenna (16) and a receiving antenna (18), A second switching device (24) for switching the carrier frequency signals as a function of a delayed second pulse signal (P2) and emitting delayed radar pulse signals (S1, 2), A mixing device (21) for mixing received radar signals (R1, 2) with the delayed radar pulse signals (S1, 2) and emitting mixed signals (M1, 2). The phase differences between the received radar signals (R1, 2) and delayed radar pulse signals (S1, 2) differ by a predetermined value when the two carrier frequency signals (F1, 2) are emitted. An amplitude signal is subsequently determined from the first and second mixed signal (M1, 2).
