ULTRASONIC RADAR

AIM OF THE PROJECT

NON CONTACT MEASUREMENT OF

DISTANCE OF AN OBJECT USING

ULTRASOUND

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT To design a handy device for non-contact measurement of distance.
For measurement of shorter distances only. Using a microcontroller for better understanding of its functioning.

Less cost manufacture.

ULTRASOUND ???

These are waves of frequency greater than 20KHz.

They travel with velocity of sound. Because of shorter wave length they travel as sharp beam.

They undergo reflection.
