Ultrasonic Receivers, Transmitters

Ultrasonic Receivers and Transmitters are specialized components found in a variety of Sensors and Transducers designed to use sound waves to detect objects and measure distances. Their main function is to emit and receive ultrasonic waves, sound waves with frequencies higher than humans can hear, in order to carry out various detection, ranging and communication tasks. The Transmitter generates the ultrasonic waves and sends them out, while the Receiver picks up the waves after they have bounced off of an object. They are particularly useful in environments where light, heat or electromagnetic waves are ineffective or might cause issues.

The specific applications of Ultrasonic Receivers and Transmitters are diverse, ranging from medical imaging and industrial quality control, to automotive safety systems and home security solutions. They're designed to work in a variety of conditions, and are noted for their robustness and reliability. Their main characteristics include the ability to work in dark or obscured environments, operate in a wide range of temperatures, and their exceptional accuracy. Top manufacturers of these components include companies such as Honeywell, Siemens, and Panasonic, among others.
