Motion Detector: Bikesh Shrestha Ari Rajamäki

A motion detector contains a motion sensor that detects moving objects and converts the detection into an electric signal. Motion detectors come in two types: active sensors that emit energy like microwaves or sound waves, and passive sensors that detect incoming energy like infrared light. Active sensors work by sending out sound waves and detecting changes in the pattern of waves reflected back. Passive sensors detect and measure incoming infrared energy emitted as heat from objects. Motion detectors have various applications in security, lighting control, and more. They are widely used in electronic devices, for security purposes, and to save energy by activating devices only with motion detection.

introduction

What is a motion detector?

A motion detector is a device that contains


a motion sensor that detects moving
objects and transforms the detection of
motion into an electric signal.

The detector is often integrated as a component of a system


that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion
in an area. Motion detectors form a vital component of
security, automated lighting control, home control, energy
efficiency, and other useful systems.

Active sensors

Active sensors work by sending out bursts of ultrasonic sound


waves, after which the sensor waits for the energy to be
reflected back. Good example of an active motion sensor is
and automatic door opener. If there is nobody in the
immediate area the waves will return in the same patter in
which they were released. If someone or something disturbs
the pattern, the sensor sends an alarm signal in the event of
disturbance in the pattern. The disturbed pattern triggers the
sensor and opens the door.

Motion sensor types

Passive sensors (PIR)

These sensors detect and measure incoming infrared energy.


The infrared ray is emitted by the heat of the body or any light
sources. Depending upon the purpose of the sensor the
range of IR filter can be limited to certain level. Most passive
infrared sensors can actually detect emissions in the range of
8 to 12 micrometers. They use a photo detector. which
coverts light in these wavelengths into an electrical current,
which is run through a tiny computer housed in the unit. The
alarm is triggered when the photo detector detects large or
fast variations in the distribution of the emitted infrared
energy. The output power is almost entirely provided by the
measured signal without an excitation voltage.

Sensor characteristics

AMN31111
AMN3111 is has singe-chip IC with built-in amplifier and
comparator.

It detects variations in infrared rays. However, it may not


detect in the following case: lack of movement, no
temperature change in the heat source

Signal can converted to digital by external A/D converter. It


also can be connected directly to microcomputer. Signal may
not be need to convert to digital if digital version of the sensor
is chosen.

It's calibrated to detect differences in the temperature


between the background and the object, movement speed
and the object(human body).

Some noise is detected in the sensor, typical noise value


being 155 m Vp-p to maximum of 300 m Vp-p. A noise filter is
recommended for applications requiring enhanced detection,
reliability and noise withstanding capability.
