Ultrasonic Based Distance Measurement System

The report details the implementation of distance measurement system using the ultrasonic waves. As the human ear’s audible perception range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz, it is insensitive to ultrasonic waves, and hence the ultrasound waves can be used for applications in industries/vehicles without hindering human activity. They are widely used as range meters and proximity detectors in industries also it can be used in parking assistance system. The distance can be measured using pulse echo and phase measurement method. Here the pulse echo method is used. The measurement unit uses a continuous signal in the transmission frequency range of ultrasonic transducers. The signal is transmitted by an ultrasonic transducer, reflected by an obstacle and received by another transducer where the signal is detected. The time delay of the transmitted and the received signal corresponds to the distance between the system and the obstacle.

The techniques of distance measurement using ultrasonic in air include continuous wave and pulse echo technique. In the pulse echo method, a burst of pulses is sent through the transmission medium and is reflected by an object kept at specified distance. The time taken for the pulse to propagate from transmitter to receiver is proportional to the distance of object. For
contact less measurement of distance, the device has to rely on the target to reflect the pulse back to itself. The target needs to have a proper orientation that is it needs to be perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the pulses. The amlitude of the received signal gets significantly attenuated and is a function of nature of the medium and the distance between the transmitter and target. The pulse echo or time-of-flight method of range measurement is subject to high levels of signal attenuation when used in an air medium, thus limiting its distance range.

Design procedure

The circuit has been divided into two divisions.
(i) Digital section- micro controller and LCD display unit with 5volt power supply
(ii) Analog section –
(a) Transmitting side - Ultrasonic transducers, gain amplifier using uA741 CD4066
CMOS analog switch.
(b) Receiving side - TL084 comparator, gain amplifier, voltage limiter.
(c) +15V and -15V power supply.

The time of flight method is used for finding the distance between the transmitter and the object. The transmitter sends out a burst of pulses and a receiver detects the reflected echo. The time delay between the corresponding edges of the transmitted and received pulses is measured by microcontroller, this gives the time of flight. Substituting the time delay and the velocity of ultrasound in air (330 metres/second) in the following formula we can determine the distance between the transmitter and the target. Fig.2 shows the transmitted and received pulses.

Distance = Velocity X Elapsed time

  1. What i don't understood is actually how you're

    no longer really a lot more smartly-favored than you might be right now.
    You're very intelligent. You know thus considerably in the case of this topic, produced me

  6. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year

    old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed
    the shell to her ear and

    screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is

    completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  13. I needed to post you a little bit of note to finally thank you
    so

    much as before on the marvelous tactics

    you've documented on this website. This is really open-handed of people like you giving publicly what a lot of people could

    possibly have advertised for an e book to get some cash for

    their own end, most importantly considering the

    fact that you could possibly have

    tried it in the event you decided. These tricks

    as well worked like the great way to fully grasp someone else have the same zeal like my own to see lots more in regard to this problem.

    I know there are lots of more pleasurable periods ahead for people who

    read your blog post.

    that, how you presented it. Too cool!

    doesnt disappoint me as a

    lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, however
