Abstract

The ultrasonic wind sensor that pass through the air, beating the delivery of ultrasonic wind speed increases or decreases by the physical characteristics of the wind speed and the direction of the sensor, the transmission and reception of ultrasonic time difference measured by a two-axis vector wind and wind speed measured by calculating a device that converts the digital signal is Anemometer and wind direction meteorological facilities management, management of the ship sail used for various purposes, including, but used the existing 3-cup (mechanical) anemometer wind rotor caused by mechanical wear parts replacement due to the short-term, the reliability of the product is low, parts replacement, and according to the characteristics caused the car, there is a problem in high maintenance costs. In addition, because the bearings use of the marine environment and the cryogenic environment was constrained. In this study, the excellent long-term reliability, using ultrasonic-type environment that is not constrained to produce wind anemometer located $90^{\circ}$ conformal road using four piezoelectric sensors were fabricated structures, the piezoelectric oscillator circuit produces a rash and receiving transmit and receive speeds the car through the two-axis vector calculation to measure wind velocity processor firmware programming, and its characteristics were tested.
