I am trying to source decent ultrasonic emitter and recievers with a wide dispersion angle - similar to the sensors found on the front and back of most modern cars (parking sensors). i have only been able to get sensors with a narrow angle - so it only detects objects directly in front of them, like in a strait line - so any help in getting some nice emmiters / recievers would be greatly appreciated.

the diagram on the left shows the area where my sensors will detect at the mo, and the diagram on the right shows the area i would like them to sense.

the sensors i am using are

hello there tindy,

will a coverage area of 7' x 15' tear drop-shaped area be good enough for you?
