    maximum, to which the signal generator indicated this to be at 32.4 kHZ or 32400 Hz. Next we adjusted the position of the receiver such that the waveform of the generated signal and the received signal were in phase. We recorded the position as which this occurred as 0.120m from the origin on the angle track and labelled it at ‘R’. Setting ‘Ti’- (Transmitter Cone- Initial Position) at a random position at which the two waveforms were in phase, we proceed to move ‘Ti’ through twenty periods of phase change
