Abstract :
This paper presents the procedures for the wind speed measurement using ultrasonic transducers. The wind speed measurement is based on the time-of-flight (ToF) ultrasonic estimation that has been estimated using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm. For this purpose it was developed the dynamic system model in state space and was analyzed the convergence of the EKF algorithm. Simulation results are presented considering the presence of additive Gaussian noise.
