Build a Simple Bat Detector - The Simple Bat Detector is a frequency division type device. Frequency division type
detectors allow you to hear ultrasonic sound by digitally scaling the frequency down into the human hearing
range. For instance, a western pipistrelle bat emits ultrasonic sound in the range… [by Tony Messina-Las Vegas,

Parking Sonar - This was one of my first designs: it is an ultrasonic parking sonar.Based on an ultrasonic
amplifier from an article seen on a 1982 magazine, it was once installed on the rear bumper of my Volvo Station
Wagon. It served very well for many years. Connecting it to the reverse gear lights, it switches on automatically
and shows you the distance to the nearest obstacle (according to his beam) on a led scale. When the last led
lights, a buzzer is also activated telling you to stop immediately… [Alberto Ricci Bitti]
Popular Electronics Ultrasound

Ultrasonic Beam Barrier
Circuit - This circuit generates inaudible ultrasound to
make a barrier across the entry. At the moment the circuit detects a break in the sound barrier, it generates a
loud alarm indicating the entry of a person. This can be used to protects the entry passages and helps to detect
unauthorized entry of persons in protected areas. The… [Circuit Posted by D Mohankumar]
Ultrasonic Dog Repeller
Circuit - This ultrasonic dog repeller circuit will chase
away angry dogs. It is build with the all known 555 circuit, a buzzer and a little ferrite transformator. The

Ultrasonic Intruder detector - Scroll for this one. The next circuit is an ultrasonic intruder detector. It uses Doppler
shift from a moving object. Ultrasonics aren't used much for this commercially as they can be a bit temperamental
to set up and tend to detect cats and curtains moving in a draft. Modern detectors tend to use a narrow beam
microwave system which only scans a small area such as a doorway. Ultrasonics tend to scan the whole room. …

Ultrasonic Parking Assistant - The basic theory behind the Parking Assistant is the Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR)
technique that is used for finding the distance and direction of a remote object underwater by transmitting sound
waves and detecting reflections from it. First, a series of short ultrasonic pulses are transmitted using a
transducer that changes voltage into sound waves. The transmitted pulse is reflected off an object, and the
reflected wave is then received by another transducer that converts sound waves into voltage. The transmitted
signal is also known as the ‘ping’ and the received signal is known as the ‘pong’. By counting the elapsed time
between the ping and the pong, the distance between the device and an object can be easily calculated by
multiplying the elapsed time with the speed of sound. …

Ultrasonic Range & Imager - This is the electronic schematic of the homebuilt SONAR. Only one piezoelectric tranducer is
used for both tramsmit & receive.This transducer is switched from TX to RX via the four 4016 switches. A high

the PIC12C508 8-pin microcontroller…
Ultrasonic Range Finder Circuit - The circuit is designed to be low cost. It uses a PIC12C508 to perform the control functions
and standard 40khz piezo transducers. The drive to the transmitting transducer could be simplest driven directly
from the PIC. The 5v drive can give a useful range for large objects, but can be problematic detecting smaller
objects. The transducer can handle 20v of drive, so I decided to get up close to this level. A MAX232 IC, usually
used for RS232 communication makes and ideal driver, providing about 16v of drive.… [Gerald Coe]

Ultrasonic Reflectance Detector - This circuit detects motion within approximately 5 inches of a piezo-ceramic element
ultrasonic transducer. The detection distance is much smaller than obtainable with other ultrasonic techniques,
however, it only requires a single transducer, as opposed to the two-transducer arrangement typically found in
other designs. The short-range detection is adequate for many applications, such as proximity-operated commodity
dispensers or tamper alarms for merchandise cases. … [Designed by Arthur Harrison]
