ultrasonic anemometer working principle
The XF200L ultrasonic anemometer achieves high-precision wind speed and direction measurement by combining multiple advanced technologies. Its working principle will be explained in detail below.
- Ultrasonic Time of Flight Measurement: Calculates wind speed and direction by measuring the time difference of ultrasonic waves propagating in different directions.
- Bidirectional Propagation Comparison Principle: Ultrasonic waves travel faster with the wind and slower against it; wind speed is obtained by comparing the time difference of bidirectional propagation.
- Triangulation Layout: Sensors typically employ a three- or four-probe structure, calculating two-dimensional or three-dimensional wind fields using multi-directional sound wave propagation data.
- Temperature Compensation Correction: Real-time temperature measurement corrects for changes in sound speed, resulting in more accurate wind speed calculations.
- Solid-State Structure Without Mechanical Parts: Relying on sound waves rather than rotating parts for detection avoids mechanical inertia and delays, enabling rapid response.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Technology: Algorithms filter out interference and noise, improving measurement stability and resistance to environmental interference.
