ABSTRACT:
A single transducer ultrasonic distance sensor is disclosed which provides for range sensing down to zero distance from the sensor housing envelope with an electroacoustic transducer subject to unavoidable ringing following emission of a burst of acoustic energy. The housing is configured and the transducer mounted therein so that an acoustic path at least half as great as the distance travelled by an acoustic signal during the transducer ringing interval is provided within the housing envelope.
