Abstract

As an echolocating sensor moves through an environment the pattern of echoes reflected by objects to that sensor changes continuously, creating acoustic flow. Acoustic flow has been observed in both bats and humans. In this paper, we develop a theory of acoustic flow, and discuss measuring it with a Continuous Transmission Frequency Modulated (CTFM) ultrasonic sensor.
