4.1.1 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF KEYBOARD INTERFACE
The key board here we are interfacing is a matrix keyboard. This key
board is designed with a particular rows and columns. These rows and
columns are connected to the microcontroller through its ports of the micro
controller 8051. We normally use 8*8 matrix key board. So only two ports
of 8051 can be easily
When ever a key is pressed, a row and a column gets shorted through that
pressed key and all the other keys are left open.. When a key is pressed only
a bit in the port goes high. Which indicates microcontroller that the key is
pressed. By this high on the bit key in the corresponding column is
identified.

C. Antenna design involves expensive test equipments such as
vector network analyzer and calibrated test antenna. Unless you
have access to these equipments, the use to an antenna consultant
is recommended.

4.3 DISPLAY
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is an electronically modulated optical
amplification shaped into a thin, flat display device made up of any number
of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source (backlight)
or reflector. It is often utilized in battery- powered electronic devices
because it uses very small amounts of electric power.
The surface of the electrodes that are in contact with the liquid
crystal material are treated so as to align the liquid crystal molecules
in a particular direction. This treatment typically consists of a thin
polymer layer that is unidirectionally rubbed using, for example, a
cloth. The direction of the liquid crystal alignment is then defined by
the direction of rubbing. Electrodes are made of a transparent
conductor called Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
