This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic flow detection. Specifically, it relates to an
echo signal discrimination and
processing system and method. It mainly includes a threshold judgment module, a zero-point judgment module, a timing module, a
peak detection module, a frequency output module, and an MCU
microprocessor. It can filter echo signals. When the frequency of the
echo signal input to the discrimination and
processing system differs from the frequency emitted by the
transmitter, it can be directly determined that it is not a valid
echo signal, and the MCU
microprocessor will not perform further calculations or analysis. Similarly, when the
voltage ratio between the peak
voltage of the first wave and the peak
voltage of the maximum echo does not meet the standard, it can also be directly determined that it is not a valid echo
signal. This
system can perform multi-dimensional and comprehensive discrimination and
processing of echo signals, allowing the
microprocessor to process only valid echo signals that meet the standards. This helps reduce the
power consumption of the microprocessor, saves its computing power, and significantly improves the performance of the ultrasonic flow meter.
