Jul 3, 2024 at 22:38 comment added ali demir So should i be able to measure echo on further distances like 20cm ? As i remember i also tried that but didnt get anything
Jul 3, 2024 at 22:27 comment added qrk @alidemir If the range is 32 mm, as depicted in the oscillogram, you can't use 4 kHz (a number used in your previous post) as the wavelength is about 85 mm. Using a 40 kHz transducer, you may have a better chance if Q of the transducer is sufficiently low enough where the ringing has died down. At this range, you probably don't need much drive level, i.e., 5 V drive may be enough. You many need to put a resistor across the ceramic to lower the Q or use an acoustically absorbent backing to lower the Q.

Jul 3, 2024 at 21:02 comment added ali demir Do i have to drive the piezo at really high voltages ? I was trying to do with 5Vpp (arduino digitalwrite)

Jul 3, 2024 at 20:37 comment added Antonio51 Yes, it can work ... Just add Tx and Rx. Sometimes, a transfo is also used ...
Jul 3, 2024 at 20:10 comment added ali demir i dont have enough parameters to simulate the piezo
Jul 3, 2024 at 20:07 comment added Andy aka Why don't you run the circuit through a simulation tool (like most EEs do these days)?
