  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING A SPATIAL CORRECTION OF AN ULTRASONIC EMITTER AND MEASUREMENT DEVICE FOR APPLYING THE METHOD
    Publication number: 20170031000
    Abstract: A method for determining a spatial correction of a primary ultrasonic emitter (2) by evaluating the ultrasonic signal emitted by the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and received by at least three ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) calibrated in space (11) is described, wherein the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is arranged in a coplanar emitter array (5) with at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) and the nominal emission direction of the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) is known relative to the coplanar emitter array (5), and wherein the ultrasonic receivers (8, 9, 10) are positioned to receive ultrasonic signals from the primary ultrasonic emitter (2) and the at least two secondary ultrasonic emitters (3, 4) of the emitter array (5). The description is also concerned with a respective measurement device.
