Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

776
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Haptics
  • Wave physics

Background:

  • Ultrasound phased arrays offer high spatiotemporal control for midair haptics.
  • Concave reflectors can extend the focal range of phased arrays.
  • Ideal concave surfaces present fabrication and integration challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically investigate the convergence of a multi-planar surface approximating a concave reflector.
  • To derive conditions for achieving a single focal point using such approximated reflectors with phased arrays.
  • To validate the derived convergence criteria through simulations and experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical examination of a surface approximated by multiple planar segments acting as a reflector.
  • Derivation of a single-point convergence condition based on reflector accuracy and phased array size.
  • Validation via numerical simulations and experimental verification with a polyhedral reflector.

Main Results:

  • A single-point convergence condition was derived, linking reflector accuracy and phased array dimensions.
  • The approximated reflector can form a single focal point if the convergence condition is met.
  • Numerical simulations confirmed the convergence equation, showing a 5% tolerance for segment size deviation.
  • Experimental results demonstrated the formation of a small focal point using a polyhedral reflector and phase shift control.

Conclusions:

  • Approximating ideal concave reflectors with multiple planar segments is feasible for midair haptics.
  • The derived convergence condition accurately predicts the ability to form a single focal point.
  • This approach offers a practical method for enhancing the focal capabilities of ultrasound phased arrays in haptic applications.
