Abstract

However, it has a remarkable application in radar technology, ultrasonic technology has been a fantastic and multifunctional technology employed in numerous information technologies as well as in the medical sector. One of the reliable and efficient technologies in the information technology field is ultrasonic radar. It is widely used in technological domains like commerce, the military, security services, and others. In actuality, it is an ultrasonic radar design that can identify an object’s location and speed. We have tried to present our findings after exploring this work. Our goal is to create an ultrasonic transceiver that functions like a radar system and can provide data on an object’s angular distance, location, and speed. Our system generates an ultrasonic wave, sends it into the open space, and then receives a signal. To accomplish this, we are transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves using an Arduino microcontroller. We created a radar-like display on our computer screen to test this. We conducted a test of a visual alarm.
