In order to solve the problems of performance degradation and poor stability of the ultrasonic wind measurement system in the presence of strong impulse noise
a three-element ultrasonic wind vector measurement method using the quadratic fractional low-order covariance algorithm is proposed. The three-element ultrasonic array structure consists of three transceiver-integrated ultrasonic transducers. Based on the system structure and combined with the quadratic fractional low-order covariance algorithm
the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave is obtained
then the wind vector estimation value is obtained. The practicability of the proposed method is verified by the actual wind measurement system and comparative simulation. In the actual measurement
the maximum error of wind speed and wind direction angle is 2.2% and 2.4° respectively
and the measurement accuracy basically meets the requirements of ultrasonic wind direction measurement.
