The same way you do when you turn your flashlight on and off to send a message to a friend, only on the part of the light spectrum invisible to the human eye (below the red spectrum). If you have a camera without an IR filter, you can point your TV remote at it and see the IR diode light up in flashing patterns (1s and 0s). This principle is used throughout all IR applications, be it remote controllers, audio, or data transmission. Visit oswaldexports.in to get more info about infrared cooker.

The IR transmitter sends an IR radiation(in the infrared wavelength region),which is reflected of a surface and falls upon a reciever.Due to the falling of light on the reciever a potential difference is created across the ends.This p.d is recognized by a microcontroller as HIGH or LOW.

Do all motion sensors have a transmitter and a receiver?

Some devices have the receiver and transmitter built into the same device. Some devices use only a detector and register changes in emitted IR "patterns" (for example) to infer motion.


What is a duplexer?

A duplexer is a device that allows bi-directional (duplex) communication over a single channel. In radar systems, a device that isolates the receiver from the transmitter while permitting them to share a common antenna. Note 1: A duplexer must be designed for operation in the frequency band used by the receiver and transmitter, and must be capable of handling the output power of the transmitter. Note 2: A duplexer must provide adequate rejection of transmitter noise occurring at the receive frequency, and must be designed to operate at, or less than, the frequency separation between the transmitter and receiver. Note 3: A duplexer must provide sufficient isolation to prevent receiver desensitization.Braimah prosper


What are the parts of a Doppler Radar?

Same as the "regular" radar, except that the receiver is a bit different. In regular radar, the receiver looks for the returning signal on the frequency the transmitted pulse was sent out. Yes, it sees" Doppler shifted signals, but with decreasing sensitivity. And it does little with them but combine them with the signal on the frequency of the transmitted pulse. With Doppler radar, the receiver looks for a "band" or group of frequencies around the frequency at which the transmitted pulse was sent out. These "nearby" frequencies represent returns from materials or substances that are moving relative to the transmitter (toward or away from it). And the receiver works with a microprocessor based "analyzer" to paint a picture based on those returning signals that are near the frequency of the transmitted signal and not right on it. Basically, radar has a transmitter, the waveguide to the antenna, the antenna itself, and the receiver. The receiver is plumbed into the same waveguide the transmitter is connected to, but there is a junction (like a "T") where the transmitter and receiver are connected that is capable of directing the transmitted signal out along the waveguide and keeping it from going into the receiver, and then allowing the returned signal to get to the receiver without being "lost" by going back into the transmitter. There is a control system and a display system associated with the equipment as well. Just as one might expect.


What is the Meaning of turn down ratio on a pressure transmitter?

This is a number that indicates what range the transmitter will work correctly. This will depend on how strong the transmitter is.


Can a radio receiver be located with a detector?

Yes, a radio receiver can be located with another receiver or tracer, most radio receivers is of the regenerative type and it has a local oscillator that is used to generate an intermediate (IF) signal of 465Khz on shortwave and 10.7Mhz on the higher frequencies like a FM or TV receiver, that oscillator is like a low power transmitter that is transmitting an un-modulated RF signal. Any nearby receiver can pick up this signal although no sound will be heard on the receiver, to be able to hear a signal the tracer is equipped with a BFO, (Beat Frequency Oscillator) that will generate an audible tone when a signal is received, the same way as the local oscillator generate the IF signal but only in the audible frequencies and a signal strength meter, then with a directional antenna, the receiver that is to be traced can be pin pointed.

Why using 555 timer in ir transmitter?

The 555 is a timer and oscillator chip capable of sourcing and sinking 200 milliamperes, and is useful for pulsing an infrared LED to power an infrared transmitter. It can be pulse width modulated or otherwise controlled via the various control pins. See: http://talkingelectronics.com/FreeProjects/555/555-P3.html in most cases the IR detector used is TSOP sensors which works only on a specified frequency of 38KHz. So by using 555 timer, we can design the circuit very easly to work @ 38KHz. dats why in 555 is used in many IR txns.

How do you use ir led?

IR LED will be having connecting leads same as ordinary LED. When ever we use IR LED, which works like a transmitter we have to connect a photo diode as a receiver (very near to IR LED). So as we know IR LED keeps on emitting IR radiations photo diode will keeps on receiving, it in a reflecting surface. In case if the surface not reflect IR radiation(Black surface obsorbs IR). the input to the photo diode becomes nil, and photo diode wont work and hence the circuit. inform.mayaprasad@gmail.com

Why is tsop1738 used in ir receiver?

TSOP1738 is Infrared IR Sensor Receiver used in IR receivers to get signals. This is because it is sensitive to 38 kHz.
