Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper investigates a method to detect the position of an object in front of an ultrasonic vibrator using changes in the radiation impedance. The acoustic touchless sensor is composed of a rectangular vibrating plate (width: 20 mm; length: 100 mm; thickness: 1 mm) and a PZT transducer (width: 20 mm; length: 20 mm; thickness: 2 mm). The sensor configuration was determined based on the results of a finite element analysis simulation, and the object to be detected was arranged parallel to the sensor surface. A stripe flexural vibration mode was excited on the plate at the resonance frequency, thus radiating the sound wave into the air between the plate and the object. The effects of the acoustic field between the object and the plate on the sensor’s detection characteristics were investigated. When an acoustic standing-wave field was generated in the air, the electrical impedance of the ultrasound transducers changed dramatically, thus indicating that the radiation impedance of the sensor was dependent on the object position. By measuring the amplitude of the input current to the transducers and the phase difference between the input current and the voltage applied to the sensor, the object position could be determined uniquely within a two-dimensional area of 60×27 mm2.
