WHAT IS HSS
 Uses ULTRASONIC
WAVES.
 Produces sound in the air
indirectly.
 Provide control of volume
and placement.
 Highly directional.
 Frequency greater then
16khz.
 Sound waves travel as
concentric hollow
spheres. 2
HISTORY
 Before 1960 SCUBA DIVERS & NAVAL SUBMARINES
used modulated ultrasound for underwater
communication.
 After 1960-> Non-linear interaction of ultrasound waves.
 Panasonic, NC Demon & Ricoh followed this interaction.
 End of 1980-> technique was depraved.
 1990-> WOODY MORRIS got the solution.
 Used by COCA-COLA in TOKYO.
 Used by US ARMY.

HSS V/S LOUSPEAKER
 Loudspeakers are direct
radiating whereas HSS are
not.
 HSS does not need woofers,
tweeters & enclosures
whereas LS rely on these.
 Loudspeakers suffer from
crossover distortion & HSS
does not.

TECHNOLOGY

 Uses property of air to create new tones.

 Converts ultrasonic energy to freq. we can hear.
 Sound projection to desired point.
 Outstanding flexibility. 6
RANGE-
 Up-to 500 yards.
 5-6 inches in diameter.

WORKING-
 Non-linearity of air.
 Origin- Tartini tones.
 Sound from non-linear air is audible.
 Generation of 2 new tones with 2 sources closely placed
together.
 HSS is the difference.

DSB (Dynamic double Side Band ) Modulator.
Ultrasonic modulation amplifier.
Microcontroller –ATMEGA8515.
Transducer technology- uses
POLYVINYLIDENE DIFLUORIDE.

11
APPLICATIONS
 Computers->HSS for high
fidelity audio.
 Automobiles->in dome
light area.
 Home Theater.
 Museums, zoos,
monuments, aquariums.
 Airports, busses, trains.
 For public
announcements.

12
 In the grocery stores.
 In military applications.
 Also as a weapon.

13
ADVANTAGES

 Highly directional.
 Minimizes noise pollution.
 Small & Light weight.
 No enclosures.
 No distortions.
 Easy to mount.

DRAWBACK
 High cost.
