Introduction
It is designed to measure the distance of any object by using an ultrasonic transducer.
The transmitted waves are reflected back from the object and received by the transducer
again.
The total time taken from sending the waves to receiving it is calculated by taking into
consideration the velocity of sound.
Then the distance is calculated by a program running on the microcontroller and displayed
on an LCD screen interfaced to the microcontroller.
The transmitter can deliver 40 KHz ultrasonic sound while the maximum receiver is design
to accept only 40KHz sound waves.
When ever an obstacle obstructs the signals of ultrasonic transmitter it reflects the signal
towards the ultra sonic receiver.
The program is so written in MC to calculate the distance getting from ultrasonic module.
The distance measurement which is seen on LCD displays the distance in cms.

Ultrasonic Transmitter And Receiver
Ultrasonic sensors (also known as transceivers) work on a principle similar to radar or
sonar which evaluate attributes of a target by interpreting the echoes from radio or sound
waves respectively.
Ultrasonic sensors generate high frequency sound waves and evaluate the echo which is
received back by the sensor.
Ultrasonic generators use piezoelectric materials such as zinc or lead zirconium tartrates
or quartz crystal.
The material thickness decides the resonant frequency when mounted and excited by
electrodes attached on either side of it.
The medical scanners used for abdomen or heart ultrasound are designed at 2.5 MHz. In
this circuit, a 40 kHz transducer is used for object detection in the air medium.

Liquid Crystal Display (Lcd)
Most common LCDs connected to the microcontrollers are 16x2 and 20x2 displays.
This means 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per line by 2 lines,
respectively.
The standard is referred to as HD44780U, which refers to the controller chip which
receives data from an external source and communicates directly with the LCD.

How to Operate this Ultrasonic Distance Measurement by
Circuit
While giving the connections make sure that Vcc of ultrasonic module is connected to
5V DC.
Place the obstacle in front the ultrasonic module, now you can observe the distance on
LCD.
