Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19541459A1] The invention relates to a method for fixing the position, with respect to direction and range, of a target using an ultrasonic transducer. The advantage of this measuring method is that it operates using only one ultrasonic transducer. A directionally selective sensor system can be produced with a minimum amount of technical outlay by activating the transducer in different operating modes.
