Research of the High-Precision Dual-Channel Sound Velocity of Seawater Measurement System

Article Preview

Abstract:

For single channel sound velocity measurement system accuracy was generally not high,a high-precision dual-channel sound velocity of seawater measurement system was designed.Based on ultrasonic speed of sound measurement in seawater with time-of-flight method,the system used ARM microcontroller to combine with high-precision time interval measurement chip,and the sound velocity measurement was translated into distance and time measurement. Then the influence of the time delay of the system was eliminated by method of difference.The paper introduced the modules of the system,and the high-precision time interval measurement method as the key technology of time-of-flight method for the velocity measurement system was expounded.It wasproved by experiment that the measurement accuracy of the system on the velocity reached 0.019m/s.
