Exp No.01

This document outlines an experiment to measure the speed of a CPU fan using a radar trainer system without physical contact. The objective is to determine the fan's RPM. The procedure uses the radar system to detect the fan's reflected Doppler signal. By dividing the signal frequency by the number of fan blades and calculating the time for one rotation, the RPM can be derived. The results will be verified against the fan specifications. Equipment includes a radar system, computer, fan, power adapter and cables.

AIM: To measure the speed of fan.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is to measure the speed of CPU fan in RPM.

EQUIPMENTS: Radar trainer system


PC with RF beam signal viewer software
Experimental manual
Oscilloscope
CPU fan
Power adapter
USB Cable

PROCEDURE: 1. Do the experimental setup as shown in fig.2 Connect radar trainer system to
computer with USB to USB cable provided.
2. Connect 12V supply from adapter to CPU fan.
3. Place CPU fan in front of transceiver Antenna of Radar trainer system and
Switch ON the adapter.
4. Observe reflected signal due to the rotation of the fan in time domain display
of the software or at Amplified Radar Signal port.
5. Adjust the fan in front of antenna such that proper periodic signal will
appear in time domain display.
6. Measure the frequency of the signal using DSO.
7. Divide the frequency by number of fan blades. For e.g. If the frequency
comes around 350Hz & CPU fan has 7 blades. Then Divide 350Hz by 7,it
comes around 50. take inverse of 50Hz to get time required to CPU fan to
complete one rotation. It comes around 20mS.
8. Now calculate rotation per minute (RPM) divide 60 by this 20mS. This gives
direct value of RPM of CPU fan. In above example it comes 3000 rotation per
minute.
9. In this way we can calculate RPM of CPU fan without physical contact to it
using principle of Doppler radar.
10. Verify the calculated (practical) RPM with its specified RPM in datasheet or
manual.
