A Multi-Element Ultrasonic Ranging Array

Abstract

Abstract : A Multi-Element Ultrasonic Ranging Array describes the use of an array of multiple transducers combined with dedicated microprocessor capabilities in the development of a high resolution ultrasonic rangefinding system. The system design utilizes Texas Instruments' Ultrasonic Ranging Modules and Polaroid Electrostatic Transducers interfaced through a specially designed multiplexer to a controlling microprocessor.
