INTRODUCTION

 Radar was developed secretly for military use by


several nations in the period before and during
World War II. A key development was the cavity
magnetron in the UK, which allowed the creation
of relatively small systems with sub-meter
resolution. The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by
the United States Navy as an acronym for radio
Detection And Ranging. The term radar has since
entered English and other languages as a common
noun, losing all capitalization
Radar was developed secretly for military use by
several nations in the period before and during
World War II. A key development was the cavity

The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United
States Navy as an acronym for radio Detection And
Ranging. The term radar has since entered English
and other languages as a common noun, losing all
capitalization.
The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air
and terrestrial traffic control, radar astronomy, air- defence
systems, antimissile systems, marine radars to locate
landmarks and other ships, aircraft anti-collision systems,
ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and
rendezvous systems, meteorological precipitation
monitoring, altimetry and flight control systems, guided
missile target locating systems, groundpenetrating radar for
geological observations, and range-controlled radar for
public health surveillance. High tech radar systems are
associated with digital signal processing, machine learning
and are capable of extracting useful information from very
high noise levels.
ABOUT THE PROJECT

 In this project we have designed Arduino RADAR Model using


Ultrasonic Sensor for Detection & Ranging. RADAR is an object
detection system that uses radio waves to identify the range, altitude,
direction and speed of the objects. The radar antenna transmits radio
wave pulses that bounce off any object in their path. The object returns
a portion of the wave received by the receiver which is in line of sight
with the transmitter.
 This Arduino RADAR project aims to achieve a radar system prototype
based on an Arduino board, capable of detecting stationary and moving
objects.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED

 For designing Arduino RADAR Model using


Ultrasonic Sensor, we need following components.
1. Arduino UNO Board
2. Servo Motor SG90
3. Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
4. Bread Board
5. Connecting wires
6. Mechanical Moving Parts & Arrangement
BLOCK DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT SCHEMATICS
I connected the Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 to the
pins number 10 and 11 and the servo motor to the
pin number 12 on the Arduino Board.
WORKING OF THE PROJECT

 Arduino board sends a signal of +5V to trig


pin of Ultrasonic Sensor HCSR04 which
triggers the sensor. Then it provides
rotational action at the servo motor
mechanically fitted along with ultrasonic
Sensor HC-SR04 so that it can detect the
moving objects and locate within 180 degrees .
SOURCE CODES

Now we need to make a code and


upload it to the Arduino Board that
will enable the interaction between
the Arduino and the Processing
IDE. For understanding how the
connection works click.
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
duration = pulseIn(echoPin,
HIGH); // Reads the echoPin, returns
the sound wave travel time in
microseconds
distance= duration*0.034/2;
return distance;
}
DESCRIPTION OF CODE

 Now we will receive the values for the


angle and the distance measured by
the sensor from the Arduino Board
into the Processing IDE using the
SerialEvent() function which reads
the data from the Serial Port and we
will put the values of the angle and
the distance into the variables iAngle
and iDistance. These variable will be
used for drawing the radar, the lines,
the detected objects and some of the
text.
For drawing the line that is
moving along the radar I
made this function
drawLine(). Its center of
rotation is set with the
translate() function and using
the line() function in which
the iAngle variable is used the
line is redrawn for each
degree
Military Applications: In Air
defence as it is used for target
detection.
Air Traffic Control: It is to guide the
aircraft to land in bad weather using
precision approach radar.
Remote Sensing: Radar can be
used for observing weather. Ground
Traffic Control: RADAR can also be
used by traffic police to determine
speed of the vehicle.
Space: To guide the space vehicle
for safe landing on the moon
