  • Page 105: Operating Principle

    Operating Principle OPERATING PRINCIPLE 9.1. Doppler Flow Meter An ultrasonic beam is transmitted into the flowing fluid at an oblique angle to the flow. The receiver collects scattered ultrasound from a core group of flowing particles travelling down the central axis of the open channel or pipe. This received ultrasound is shifted in frequency from the transmitted ultrasound in accordance with the general Doppler equation: α...
  • Page 106: Pulse Wave Doppler (Pw)

    Operating Principle There are two main types of Doppler flow meter systems in common use today, Continuous Wave and Pulsed Wave. They differ in transducer design and operating features, signal processing procedures and in the types of information provided. Continuous wave (CW) Doppler is the older and electronically more simple of the two kinds. As the name implies, CW Doppler involves continuous generation of ultrasound waves coupled with continuous ultrasound reception.
