Abstract

Radar systems cannot locate targets at close range because of the high velocity of propagation of electromagnetic waves; one solution is to use ultrasonic waves, which are much slower. This entails both investigation of environmental effects, and development of new transmitters and transducers. Successful results have been obtained in Doppler-shift speed measurements of cars and railway trucks, and pulse-echo distance measurements in coal mines and blast furnaces.
