MILITARY RADAR
Harnessing the power of the Arduino Uno.
WHAT IS RADAR? Waves of the frequency range of 20000hz and thereabouts are called ultra-sonic waves and these waves can be detected by an ultrasonic sensor which helps us to get various knowledge. An Ultrasonic detector usually has a transducer that converts sound energy into electrical energy and electrical energy into sound energy. They are used for measuring object position and orientation, collision avoidance systems, surveillance systems etc. Ultrasonic technology provides relief from problems such as linear measurement problems, as it allows users to get non-contact measurements in this way distance between the object and its speed etc can be easily measured. The speed of travel of sound waves depends upon the square root of the ratio between medium density and stiffness. Natural environment conditions like temperature can also change the property of sound speed. So basically, an ultrasonic sensor sends ultrasonic waves that travel in the air and get reflected after striking any object. By studying the properties of reflected waves, we can gain knowledge about objects' distance, position, speed etc. Processing software and Arduino software are used with hardware systems for the detection of objects' various parameters. One of the most common applications of ultra-sonic sensors is range finding. It is also called as sonar which is the same as radar in which ultrasonic sound is directed in a particular direction if there is any object in its path it strikes it and gets reflected back and after calculation time taken to come back we can determine distance of object. in real life this method is used by bats. ABSTRACT The application of radio detection and ranging in different places such as military installation, commercial use is done with the help of RADAR SYSTEM which uses electromagnetic waves for detection of different physical components such as distance, speed, position, range, direction, size etc which can be either fixed or be in motion. Use of radar system has been developed greatly specially in field of navigation. In this research we study about existing navigation technologies and proposed an Arduino based radar system. It has advantage over other radar system as kit reduces power consumption and connect programmer to wide range or Arduino programmers and open source code. The system consist a basic ultrasonic sensor placed upon a servo motor which rotates at a certain angle and speed. This ultrasonic sensor is connected to Arduino digital input output pins and servo motor also connected to digital input output pins. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM thank
