Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating an ultrasonic sensor (2) of a motor vehicle, in which method a transmission signal is emitted with an excitation frequency during a transmission phase by exciting a diaphragm (4) of the ultrasonic sensor (2), subsequently during a damping phase (10) the diaphragm (4) is excited with a damping frequency which is in anti-phase with respect to the excitation frequency, and subsequently during a reception phase (11) mechanical oscillation of the diaphragm (4) is detected, wherein during the damping phase (10) an amplitude of the mechanical oscillation of the diaphragm (4) is detected, wherein during the damping phase (10) it is determined whether the amplitude undershoots (S2) an oscillation threshold value (12) for a duration of a predetermined damping time interval (15).
Abstract:
An ultrasonic sensor (1) includes a signal generation circuit (11), an amplifier (12), and a matching circuit (13) as a transmission-side circuit. The signal generation circuit (11) includes a driving signal generation circuit (111) that generates a driving signal for transmitting ultrasonic waves from an ultrasonic transducer (10) for transmission and reception and a reverberation suppression signal generation circuit (112) that generates a reverberation suppression signal for suppressing reverberation occurring at the ultrasonic transducer (10) from which the ultrasonic waves are transmitted. The reverberation suppression signal generation circuit (111) generates the reverberation suppression signal having a frequency of 1/2 times the frequency of the driving signal and applies the reverberation suppression signal to the ultrasonic transducer (10) at a time delayed from the driving signal by a half wavelength. With the above configuration, an ultrasonic sensor driving circuit capable of reducing the duration of the reverberation occurring at the ultrasonic transducer is provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a primary short circuit (PSC) coupled to a primary side of a transformer and a dampening element, coupled to a transducer coupled to a secondary side of the transformer, configured to dampen a received signal during a portion of a reverberation period. The PSC and the dampening element may be activated substantially simultaneously. Activation of the PSC circuit mitigates a parallel resonance otherwise arising, in part, in the transducer, but, increases the received signal by a DC shift voltage. The dampening element dampens the DC shift voltage. The received signal may be dampened prior to amplification of the received signal by an amplifier. The dampening facilitates earlier and more precise measurement, during the reverberation period, of at least one operating characteristic for the PAS sensor. Another embodiment prevents the DC shift voltage by selectively activating the PSC within a determined time of a zero-crossing of a given signal.
