Abstract(in English) Ultrasonic distance measurement with the pulse-echo method is based upon the determination of the time of flight of ultrasonic waves. The pulse-compression technique, which involves the calculation of the cross-correlation function between the transmitted and the reflected waves, is the conventional method for improving the resolution of the measurement. The calculation of a cross-correlation operation requires high-cost digital signal processing, however. A new sensor signal processing method of the pulse-compression technique using a delta-sigma modulated single-bit digital signal has been proposed. The proposed method consists of a cross-correlation operation by single-bit signal processing, and a smoothing operation accomplished by a moving average filter. For the pulse-compression technique, this method reduces the calculation cost of digital signal processing. In this paper, cross-correlation by single-bit signal processing has been evaluated by experiment of ultrasonic distance measurement.
