Ultrasonic Time of Flight Estimation for Wind Speed Measurement Based on Time-frequency Domain Using Stft

چکیده
Abstrac t This paper presents a procedure for wind speed measurement using ultrasonic transducers based on short-time Fourier transform (STFT). The measurement of wind speed was performed by estimating the ultrasonic transit-time (ToF). For this purpose the estimated ToF was used the technique of digital signal processing, based on the STFT. The ultrasonic signal detection was performed by setting a threshold level equivalently half the maximum power for the operating frequency of the ultrasonic transducers. Simulation results are presented considering the influence of the additive noise Gaussian, and estimation of ToF considering the evaluation of STFT windows using Hamming, Hanning and Bartlett.

A Novel Method for Ultrasonic Evaluation of Horizontal Defects Using Time-of-Flight Diffraction
Time-of-flight diffraction method (ToFD) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. Although ToFD can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. In this paper, a new ToFD method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. The finite...

Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...
متن کاملTwo Capacitive Micro-Machined Ultrasonic Transducers for Wind Speed Measurement
This paper presents a new wind speed measurement method using a single capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT). The CMUT was arranged perpendicular to the direction of the wind flow, and a reflector was set up a short distance away, facing the CMUT. To reduce the size, weight, cost, and power consumption of conventional ultrasonic anemometers this study proposes two CMUT designs ...

Fast reduction of blood water volume due to ultra-filtration via hemodialysis machine and critical threshold of blood water volume can result in clinical complications such as hypotension. When blood water volume reduces during hemodialysis process, the concentration of blood forming elements will increase. One of the methods for the monitoring of the concentration changes is ultrasonic speed m...

A new parameter estimation method for a point moving harmonic source with unknown moving velocity and frequency is presented in this paper. The time-frequency representation of the source signal is taking the place of traditional time correlation estimation methods. For a harmonic source moving at constant velocity, the received signal which is amplitude and frequency modulated has no spatial c...
