Abstract :
RADAR (radio detection and ranging) is the device which uses radio waves for the detection of obstacles in the path, with the use of Arduino and ultrasonic sensor we can make a small model of RADAR system. This research aims at creating a cost-effective radar-like system using Arduino microcontrollers and ultrasonic sensors. RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses high-frequency signals or radio waves to track and detect objects by measuring the time it takes for signals to reflect from the surfaces. Traditional radar systems are widely used in navigation, aviation, meteorology, and defense but are often expensive and complex, making them limit their accessibility. This study focuses on developing an affordable alternative for object detection and tracking using Arduino’s flexibility and the precision of ultrasonic sensors, which use sound waves instead of radio waves. The research covers hardware development, data acquisition, signal processing, and real-time visualization. This approach has potential applications in robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, and education, making radar-like technology more accessible and practical for various fields.
