Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003128137A1] A distance sensor device is described, in particular as a component of a parking aid or reversing aid for a motor vehicle, having one or more distance sensors (US, muW) and a distance sensor control device (US-SG) for the purpose of activating the distance sensor or sensors (US, muW) via a respective signal line using an activation pulse that is preferably quasi-digital and time-analog. At least one of the distance sensors (US, muW) has two different modes of operation. It is possible to perform switchover between the modes of operation by varying the duration and/or amplitude of the activation from the distance sensor control device (US-SG).
