Introduction to Radar System
Radar is a long-range object detection system that uses radio waves to establish
certain parameters of an object like its range, speed and position
The project is based on Sonar technology as we will be using an Ultrasonic Sensor
to determine the presence of any object in a particular range.
Rader is an object detection system that uses Microwaves to determine the range,
altitude, direction, or speed of objects. The radar can transmit radio waves or
microwaves which bounce off any object in their path. So, we can easily determine
any object in the radar range.
Components:
Hardware
Arduino UNO
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor
Tower Pro SG90 Servo Motor
Jumper Wires
USB Cable (for Arduino)
Software
Arduino IDE
Processing Application
Ultrasonic Sensor:
Ultrasonic sensor is mainly used to determine
the distance of the target object.
Transmitter and receiver are two main parts of
the sensor where former converts an electrical
signal to ultrasonic waves while later converts
that ultrasonic signals back to electrical signals.
Its operating frequency is 4 MHz and its
detection range is from 2cm to 400 cm.
Servo Motor:
Servo motor is a motor which requires +5V to
operate and having a torque of 2.5kg/cm. It must be
kept in mind that it can only rotate from 0°-180°.

Working Principle
The basic objective of our design is to ascertain the distance position and speed
of the obstacle set at some distance from the sensor. Ultrasonic sensor sends the
ultrasonic wave in various ways by rotating with help of servo motors. This wave
goes in air and gets reflected back subsequent to striking some object. This wave
is again detected by the sensor and its qualities is analyzed and output is shown
in screen indicating parameters, for example, distance and position of object.
Arduino IDE is utilized to compose code and transfer coding in Arduino and
causes us to detect position or angle of servo motor and it is communicated
through the serial port alongside the covered distance of the nearest object in its
way.
Output of all of this working is shown in the software called processing, it will
display the input/output and the range of the object.
Implementations of the sensors are done in such a way that ultra-sonic
sensor is attached on top of the servo motor because it have to detect
the object and its distance. Arduino (micro-controller) will control the
ultra-sonic sensor and servo motor and also powered will be given to
both of them through micro-controller.
When any obstacle/object is detected by the ultrasonic sensor the data
is immediately processed by the controller and is fed to the IDE
which shows it on the display screen. Here the process ends with an
estimated distance of the object from the system with the angle at
which it is placed.
Our Working Setup
Output
The output is obtained on screen in form shown below:
Applications
Radar is an electromagnetic system for the detection and location of
target objects such as aircraft, ships, spacecraft, vehicles, people,
and the natural environment which can reflect a signal back.
It uses electromagnetic radio waves to determine the angle, range, or
velocity of objects
The modern radar system is more advanced and the uses of radar are
highly diverse. Such as Air traffic control, Air-defence system,
Radar Astronomy, Antimissile system, Ocean Surveillance system,
outer space surveillance and many more.
