Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor and a method of operating an ultrasonic sensor.
- Ultrasonic sensors have a reception filter which serves to suppress interference signals.
- the receive filter leads to a distortion of signals which limit a selectivity of a distance determination.
- the inventive method for operating an ultrasonic sensor provides the following steps: switching a receive filter to a first bandwidth for detecting reflected ultrasound signals at near objects and switching the receive filter to a second bandwidth for detecting reflected ultrasound signals at distant objects, wherein the first bandwidth is greater than the second bandwidth.
- a high-resolution distance determination of nearby objects can be achieved by lower distortion of the signals due to the larger bandwidth of the receive filter. This is especially important for parking aids.
- the ultrasonic sensor according to the invention with a switchable receiving filter has a first bandwidth for a near measuring range of the ultrasonic sensor and a second bandwidth for a remote measuring range of the ultrasonic pulse sensor, wherein the first bandwidth is greater than the second bandwidth.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an ultrasonic sensor
- FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method for operating an ultrasonic transducer.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an ultrasonic transducer 1.
- the ultrasonic transducer 1 has a transmitting device 2 with an ultrasonic transducer, which can generate ultrasonic pulses.
- the ultrasound pulses may have a duration in the range of 100 ⁇ s to 500 ⁇ s, e.g. 300 ⁇ s on.
- the carrier frequency may be in the range of 25 kHz to 100 kHz, e.g. at 50 kHz.
- the ultrasound pulses are reflected on objects.
- the reflected components are detected by a receiving device 3 which uses the same ultrasonic transducer as the transmitting device 2.
- the reflected components have a signal strength that is attenuated by more than 100 dB compared to the emitted ultrasound pulses.
- the receiving device 3 is therefore a bandpass filter downstream as a receive filter 4, which serves to hide interference signals of other signal sources outside of the useful band of the received signal.
- the sources of interference may be the engine, the spark plugs, other ultrasonic transmitters.
- care must be taken that the transmission excitation signal has dropped to a level which is smaller than expected reception signals, e.g. dropped by 100 dB.
- the bandwidth of the receive filter 4 is designed so that for narrow objects as narrow as possible narrow selection of signals is achieved. For this purpose, a bandwidth in the range of 5 kHz to 10 kHz, e.g. 8 kHz.
- the transmit excitation signal has decayed by 100 dB and the ultrasonic transducer is already swung out when echoes arrive.
- the ultrasonic sensor 1 provides to switch the bandwidth for detecting near object.
- the near area can, for example, include objects in a radius of 30 cm. At close range are typically objects that are relevant when parking a vehicle.
- a larger bandwidth of the reception filter 4 leads to lower phase distortions of the signals. As a result, the distortion of the phase of the Ausschwingsignals is reduced. Beats of the decay signal due to the non-linear phase response of the receiving filter 4 are reduced. Furthermore, a dispersion of the signal and a resulting broadening of the signal is reduced.
- the bandwidth can be adjusted in the range of 10 kHz to 30 kHz, eg 20 kHz.
- the reception filter 4 may consist of two discrete filter stages, between which can be switched.
- the receive filter 4 consists of a digital filter whose taps are changed during operation.
- the switching between a first bandwidth for measurements in the near range and a second bandwidth for measurements in the far range can be done by a timer 5.
- the method is shown as a flowchart in FIG.
- the bandwidth of the receive filter is set to a large bandwidth (S1).
- the receiving stage is thus configured to evaluate reflected signals from the immediate vicinity.
- the transmitting device 2 then emits an ultrasonic pulse (S2).
- the timer 5 is reset or started (S3).
- the timer 5 sends a trigger signal 6 to the reception filter 4 (S4) after a predetermined period.
- the reception filter 4 then switches to a smaller bandwidth (S5).
- the ultrasonic sensor is thus set up for close-up operation and then for remote operation.
- the predetermined duration determines from how distant objects the signals are still received with the first setting of the bandpass.
- an exemplary duration of 6 ms assuming a sound velocity of 340 m / s, reflections of all objects within a radius of 1 m are detected with low frequency filtering and low distortion of the signals.
- This accepted distortion has little effect on the radial selectivity, ie the discrimination of target reflections.
- Radial selectivity describes the radial minimum distance that two reflections of the same maximum level must have, so that the level between the maxima of the reflections drops by at least 50% of the maximum level.
- a further embodiment provides for using more than two different settings of the reception filter.
- the bandwidth of the reception filter can be reduced, for example, continuously from the time of transmission of an ultrasonic pulse.
- Another embodiment provides for the detection of distant objects to increase the pulse duration of an ultrasonic pulse.
- the bandwidth of the reception filter 4 is reduced for this purpose. For example, the pulse duration can be increased to 1 ms and the bandwidth reduced to 3 kHz.
