How to Choose an Ultrasonic Transducer for Distance Measurement

Selecting the right ultrasonic transducer for distance measurement requires more than choosing a frequency or maximum range. Sensing distance, beam angle, target characteristics, environment, mounting, and electronics all affect the performance of the finished ultrasonic system. For OEM engineers and system designers, defining these requirements early helps narrow the transducer options and avoid performance problems […]
How Ultrasonic Transducers Affect Sensor Performance

In an ultrasonic sensing system, the transducer is not just another component. It is one of the main factors that determines how well the sensor performs in the real application. The transducer is responsible for converting electrical energy into ultrasonic sound pulses, then receiving the returning echo and converting it back into an electrical signal. […]
