This device consists of two ultrasonic transducers and a high resolution time interval measurement module. An ultrasonic transducer emits a characteristic wave packet (transmit mode). When the transducer is in receive mode, a characteristic wave packet is formed and it is connected to the time interval measurement module inputs. The time interval measurement module allows registration of transit time differences of a few pulses in the packet. In practice, during a single measuring cycle a few time-stamps are registered. Moreover, the measurement process is also synchronous and, by applying the statistics, the time interval measurement uncertainty improves even in a single measurement. In this article, besides a detailed discussion on the principle of operation of the ultrasonic flowmeter implemented in the FPGA structure, also the test results are presented and discussed}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Ultrasonic Flow Measurement with High Resolution}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/90246/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXXI%20Issue2_11.pdf}, doi={10.2478/mms-2014-0026}, keywords={ultrasonic flowmeter, time to digital converter, programmable logic device, time measurement}, }
