The measured intensities of separate ultrasonic frequency components furnished by respective bandpass filters of the spectrum analyzer portion of an audio frequency Doppler-effect flow meter are converted into digital values and the related values of noise intensity are calculated by applying weighting factor to these digital intensity values. The noise intensity values are subtracted from the observed intensity values to provide corrected signal intensity values these corrected values are then compared by a digital processor to determine, from the frequency of maximum corrective intensity value, the mean rate of flow which the ultrasonic transducer and receiver has observed. The output of the bandpass filters of lowest and highest frequency range are respectively multiplied by a first weighting factor of between 0.65 and 0.85 and by a second weighting factor of between 0.35 and 0.45 and weighting factors for other frequency components are then calculated by a function generator by reference to a monotonic curve having extreme values equal to the first and second weighting factors.

In order to determine a level and the flow speed of a medium, FMCW transmission signals and CW transmission signals are emitted alternately. Using the Doppler effect, the flow speed of the medium can be determined from the reflected CW signal. The level is determined from the reflected FMCW signal.

Transmitted signals are used to remotely assess sea surface roughness and nce wind speed at a water surface. A signal is transmitted from a signal source as it moves either through air or space. A land- or sea-based antenna receives the signal directly from the signal source and indirectly from the signal source by way of reflection of the signal from the surface being examined. The sum of the directly and indirectly received signals form an interference pattern as the signal source is moved. The interference pattern has peak-to-null signal values that are characteristic of the surface conditions being analyzed. Reference interference patterns are then generated for known surface conditions, each of the reference patterns exhibiting "known" characteristic peak-to-null signal values. The peak-to-null signal values of the reference interference patterns are then compared to the peak-to-null signal values generated from the surface being examined. The reference interference pattern having known peak-to-null signal values most closely resembling the peak-to-null signal values generated from the surface being examined is determined. The known surface conditions of this reference interference pattern are then equated with the unknown surface conditions of the surface being examined. By using this technique one can determine the surface conditions of a sea surface as well as the wind speed present at such a surface.

摘要:
A Doppler flowmeter which utilizes a single crystal immersed in the flow stream directing energy in a direction parallel with the flow direction. The crystal is fed by an oscillator at a single frequency corresponding to an ultrasonic vibrational mode for the crystal. The crystal also detects reflected acoustic wave energy with the input and output signals being electrically combined in the crystal. An electrical discriminator circuit is able to separate a multi-spectral Doppler signal from the crystal by phase cancellation of the transmitted signal. The recovered signal is fed to a tunable state variable filter which establishes a ninety degree phase shift with the incoming multi-spectral signal. This phase shifted signal is combined with the incoming multi-spectral signal in a phase lock loop with an output of the loop used to clock the state variable filter. Another output is a synthesized Doppler frequency representative of the mean Doppler frequency.

A flowmeter clamped onto the outside of a conduit uses doppler techniques for measuring the flow velocity of a fluid within the conduit. Separated transmitter and receiver transducers are connected to different locations on the conduit. An oscillator connected to the transmit crystal causes the crystal to produce a continuous high frequency output wave which is injected through the pipe wall and into the fluid. The frequency of the transmit oscillator is cyclically swept through a given frequency range. The receiver transducer receives reflected sonic signals from particles moving with the fluid whose velocity is to be measured. The receiver crystal also receives, through the pipe wall, the transmitted wave form. The transmitted signal and received signal are added together to produce an amplitude-modulated envelope having a beat frequency related to the flow velocity of particles producing the reflected signal received by the receiving crystal. By using frequency sweep or dither, the effect of standing waves at the receiving crystal is eliminated since, during the sweep cycle, at least one transmitter signal amplitude will be present to produce an optimum beat frequency output when added to the reflected signal. The measured amplitude-modulated wave is applied to an amplitude demodulator which, in turn, is connected to a flow indicator. Means are provided to control the amplitude of the transmit signal which is added to the receive signal to prevent the receive signal from overwhelming the pipe conducted transmit signal in the summation process producing the beat frequency.

An ultrasonic continuous wave doppler blood flow-meter deflects an ultrasonic continuous wave to an arbitrary angle and transmits it into an organism, thereby measuring a blood flow speed of the organism. Two continuous sine wave signals of different phases and a plurality of sets of pairs of coefficients are generated. One of each of the pairs of coefficients is multiplied to one of the two sine wave signals. The other one of each of the pairs of coefficients is multiplied to the other one of the two sine wave coefficients. After that, two sine wave signals after the multiplication are added, so that a plurality of synthesis sine wave signals are generated. When a plurality of micro vibrators are driven by the plurality of synthesis sine wave signals, the ultrasonic continuous wave is deflected to an arbitrary angle and is transmitted into the organism.
