Referringnowtothedrawing,thereisshownameasuringunit10andareferenceunit12,bothcoupledtoautilizationmeans14.Themeasuringunit10includesanelectroacoustictransmitter16andanelectroacousticreceiver18.Thetransmitter16includespiezoelectricmaterial20sandwichedbetweenapairofelectrodes22and24.Likewise,thereceiver18includespiezoelectricmaterial26sandwichedbetweenapairofelectrodes28and30.Asisknown,byapplyinganelectricfieldacrosstheelectrodes22and24,stressisinducedinthepiezoelectricmaterial20.Ifthefieldvaries,suchasbytheapplicationofanelectricalpulse,anacousticwave32isgenerated.Asisfurtherknown,whenanacousticwaveimpingesuponthereceiver18,thisinducesstressinthepiezoelectricmaterial26whichcausesanelectricalsignaltobegeneratedacrosstheelectrodes28and30.Althoughpiezoelectrictransducershavebeenillustrated,otherelectroacousticdevicesmaybeutilized,suchas,forexample,electrostatic,electretorelectromagnetictypes.
Asshown,theelectrodes28and30ofthereceiver18arecoupledtotheinputofanamplifier34,whoseoutputiscoupledtotheinputofadetector36.Thedetector36isarrangedtoprovideasignaltothepulseformer38whentheoutputfromtheamplifier34exceedsapredeterminedlevel.Thepulseformer38thengeneratesatriggerpulsewhichisprovidedtothepulsegenerator40.Inordertoenhancethesensitivityofthesystem,thetransducers16and18areresonantlyexcited.Thereisaccordinglyprovidedacontinuouswaveoscillator42whichprovidesacontinuousoscillatingsignalatafixedfrequency,preferablytheresonantfrequencyofthetransducers16and18.Thisoscillatingsignalisprovidedtothemodulator44.Toeffectivelyexcitethetransmitter16,itispreferabletoprovideseveralcyclesoftheresonantfrequencysignal,ratherthanasinglepulseorsinglecycle.Accordingly,thepulsegenerator40isarranged,inresponsetotheapplicationtheretoofatriggerpulse,toprovideacontrolpulsetothemodulator44havingatimedurationequalthetimedurationofapredeterminednumberofcyclesoftheoscillatingsignalfromtheoscillator42.Thiscontrolpulsecausesthemodulator44topassa"burst"ofcyclestoexcitethetransmitter16.
Whenelectricpowerisappliedtothedescribedcircuitry,thereissufficientnoiseattheinputtotheamplifier34thatitsoutputtriggersthepulsegenerator40tocauseaburstofoscillatingcyclestobeprovidedacrosstheelectrodes22and24ofthetransmitter16.Thetransmitter16accordinglygeneratesanacousticwave32whichimpingesuponthereceiver18.Thereceiver18thengeneratesanelectricalpulsewhichisappliedtotheinputoftheamplifier34,whichagaincausestriggeringofthepulsegenerator40.Thiscyclerepeatsitselfsothatarepetitiveseriesoftriggerpulsesresultsattheoutputofthepulseformer38.Thispulsetrainisappliedtothecounter46,aswellastothepulsegenerator40.
Thetransmitter16andthereceiver18arespacedapartbythedistance"D"whichitisdesiredtomeasure.Thepropagationtime"t"foranacousticwave32travellingbetweenthetransmitter16andthereceiver18isgivenby:
t=D/Vs
whereVsisthevelocityofsoundintheairbetweenthetransmitter16andthereceiver18.Thecounter46measurestherepetitionrateofthetriggerpulses,whichisequalto1/t.Therefore,therepetitionrateisequaltoVs/D.Thevelocityofsoundinairisafunctionofthetemperatureandhumidityoftheair,asfollows:
##EQU1##whereTisthetemperature,pisthepartialpressureofthewatervapor,Histhebarometricpressure,ΓwandΓaaretheratioofconstantpressurespecificheattoconstantvolumespecificheatforwatervaporanddryair,respectively.Thus,althoughtherepetitionrateofthetriggerpulsesismeasuredveryaccuratelybythecounter46,thesoundvelocityisinfluencedbytemperatureandhumiditysothatthemeasureddistanceDcannotbedeterminedaccurately.
Inaccordancewiththeprinciplesofthisinvention,areferenceunit12isprovided.Thereferenceunit12isofthesameconstructionasthemeasuringunit10andthereforeincludesanelectroacoustictransmitter50whichincludespiezoelectricmaterial52sandwichedbetweenapairofelectrodes54and56,andanelectroacousticreceiver58whichincludespiezoelectricmaterial60sandwichedbetweenapairofelectrodes62and64.Again,transducersotherthanthepiezoelectrictypecanbeutilized.Thetransmitter50andthereceiver58arespacedapartaknownandfixedreferencedistance"DR".Theelectrodes62and64arecoupledtotheinputoftheamplifier66,whoseoutputiscoupledtotheinputofthedetector68.Theoutputofthedetector68iscoupledtothepulseformer70whichgeneratestriggerpulses.Thetriggerpulsesareappliedtothepulsegenerator72whichcontrolsthemodulator74topassburstsfromthecontinuouswaveoscillator76tothetransmitter50.Thetriggerpulsesfromthepulseformer70arealsoappliedtothecounter78.
Preferably,allofthetransducers16,18,50and58havethesameresonantfrequency.Therefore,theoscillators42and76bothoperateatthatfrequencyandthepulsegenerators40and72provideequalwidthoutputpulses.
Inusage,themeasuringunit10andthereferenceunit12areincloseproximitysothatthesoundvelocityinbothoftheunitsisthesame.Althoughtherepetitionratesofthepulsesinthemeasuringunit10andthereferenceunit12areeachtemperatureandhumiditydependent,itcanbeshownthatthedistanceDtobemeasuredisrelatedtothereferencedistanceDRasfollows:
iD=DR(1/tR)/(1/t)wheretRisthepropagationtimeoverthedistanceDRinthereferenceunit12.Thisrelationshipisindependentofbothtemperatureandhumidity.
Thus,theoutputsofthecounters46and78areprovidedasinputstothemicroprocessor90intheutilizationmeans14.Themicroprocessor90isappropriatelyprogrammedtoprovideanoutputwhichisproportionaltotheratiooftheoutputsofthecounters46and78,whichinturnareprop
