An ultrasound sensor for distance detection includes a transducer external surface and a blockage sensor provided on the transducer external surface. The surface of the blockage sensor terminates flush with the transducer external surface and is sensitive to an electrical characteristic or is sensitive to a temperature present at the blockage sensor surface. In this way, the blockage sensor can determine whether the ultrasound transducer is blocked by a layer of ice or whether the sensor is free of blockage. |
