How do ultrasonic speakers control the characteristics of ultrasonic waves?

The characteristics of ultrasonic speakers controlling ultrasonic waves are mainly achieved through the following key steps:

By adjusting the parameters in the drive circuit, the frequency of ultrasonic waves can be controlled. Frequency is a basic characteristic of ultrasonic waves, which determines the number of times the sound wave fluctuates per unit time. Changing the frequency can affect how far ultrasound waves travel, their directionality, and how they interact with other objects.

The amplitude of ultrasonic waves (i.e., sound pressure level or intensity) can also be controlled by ultrasonic speakers. The amplitude determines the energy of the ultrasound, and for some applications, such as cleaning or medical treatment, precise amplitude control is required to achieve the desired effect.

Phase control is also an important function of ultrasonic speakers. Phase describes the time shift in the wave state of a sound wave. By adjusting the phase difference of different ultrasonic signals, complex effects such as focusing and interference of sound waves can be achieved, which is crucial for applications such as directional propagation and sound wave imaging.

In order to achieve these controls, ultrasonic speakers are usually equipped with complex electronic systems, including signal generators, power amplifiers, phase adjusters, etc. These components work together to convert electrical signals into ultrasonic signals with specific frequency, amplitude, and phase.

The design of an ultrasonic speaker also affects its ability to control ultrasonic characteristics. For example, the shape, material and internal structure of the speaker will affect the radiation pattern, directivity and propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves. Therefore, these factors need to be considered comprehensively when designing and manufacturing ultrasonic speakers to achieve optimal performance and control.

Ultrasonic speakers achieve precise control of ultrasonic characteristics by adjusting drive circuit parameters, controlling amplitude and phase, and optimizing speaker design. This makes ultrasonic speakers have broad application prospects in various fields, such as medical, industrial, communications, etc.
