Ultrasonic Levitation by Employing FPGA Controller

Abstract

This paper presents self-contained flexible platform utilized levitation research of acoustic,which is based on ZynqSoCthat employsultrasonic emitter(s) array. Platform employs a low costZedBoard for providing fast motion of levitated objects and the object detectionbased upon produced echo. Multiple features are available in Zynq device that consists benefit for the platform: a hardware acceleration for phase shift calculations, huge numbers of I/O attachedwith“FPGA Mezzanine Connector (FMC)”, ADC to capture various echo signals and easy programmability due to the C-based design for both CPU and FPGA.
