  • Patent number: 7460439
    Abstract: A multiple resonances type ultrasonic transducer for a ranging measurement with high directionality using a parametric transmitting array in air, includes an ultrasonic actuator unit formed with a regularly mixing array of first unit actuators having a resonance frequency of f1 and second unit actuators having a resonance frequency of f2. The ultrasonic actuator unit generates a difference frequency wave (fd=f1?f2) with high directionality by forming a parametric transmitting array in air through generating two ultrasonic waves with high pressure in air. Further, the transducer includes an ultrasonic sensor unit formed with one or more unit sensors having a resonance frequency of the difference frequency (fd=f1?f2), for sensing a reflected ultrasonic pulse signal from a target.

    Abstract: Provided is a multi-phase clock generator which is not influenced by a mismatch and of which a maximum frequency is not limited. The multi-phase clock generator includes a first delay line, a second delay line, a phase detector, and an up/down counter. The first delay line generates a first clock signal by delaying an input clock for a first delay time. The second delay line generates a second clock signal by delaying the input clock for a second delay time in response to a control signal. The phase detector detects a phase difference between the first and second clock signals. The up/down counter generates the control signal in response to an output of the phase detector.
