Agenda Inherent tradeoffs in Acoustics
Surface mapping with a wide angle beam Self Cleaning
3
Inherent tradeoffs in Acoustics
Beam angle vs Frequency θ - Beam opening angle λ - Wavelength D - Antenna size D Low frequency => Wide Beam
4
Beam angle Vs. Frequency
F = 2.5KHz λ = 13cm θ = 108⁰ D = 7.5cm
5
Beam angle Vs. Frequency
F = 4.5KHz λ = 7.5cm θ = 60⁰ D = 7.5cm
6
Beam angle Vs. Frequency
F = 10KHz λ = 3.4cm θ = 27⁰ D = 7.5cm
7
Beam angle Vs. Frequency
F = 20KHz λ = 1.7cm θ = 13⁰ D = 7.5cm Narrow beam requires Ultrasonic Frequency
8
Inherent tradeoffs in Acoustics
Sound is a pressure wave Dust particles and humidity in the air attenuate the wave energy Attenuation grows sharply over 5KHz Animation courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University Low freq. => Effective dust penetration
9
Acoustic wave attenuation
Very high attenuation at ultrasonic frequencies 9 9
10
Acoustic wave attenuation
Effective penetration at lower frequencies 10 10
11
Self Cleaning – Acoustic vibrations
A competitive advantage over Radars Acoustic vibrations keep the horns clean on most applications (standard paint)
