Micro ramble Motion DetectorCHAPTER NO 1 atomize pitch demodulator (MMD)1.1 INTRODUCTIONThe Microwave Motion Detector (MMD) is a true atomize Doppler vector and receiver, solves difficult detection problems easily with the cook question detector, aesthesiss whatsoever mournful tree trunk be it a person, animal, car, bicycle or extra-terrestrial.1.2 WHY MICROWAVE act DETECTORUnderstanding basic home security outdo practices could mean the difference between keeping your home safe and becoming the victim of a break-in. Start protecting your home better by exploring our al-Qaida Security Basics section which provides a good foundation of knowledge on everything from security cameras to outdoor lighting options that help prevent break-ins before they happen. I the light of above detail we have a requirement of autonomous microwave oven motion detector to prevent our assets from terrorism and any other casing damage or robbery.1.3 PROJECT GOALThe major goal of this project is to design an autonomous Motion Detection setup, that forget be able to sense the motion of any moving object (person, car bicycle or extra-terrestrial) in the designated atomic number 18a or designated range.In our project we have utilize divers(prenominal) type of small size electronics (Diodes, Transistors, FETs, Resistor, Capacitors and Operational Amplifiers) to complete the setup and to make a smart and precise design of MMD.1.4 PRINCIPLE OF MICROWAVE MOTION DETECTORThe system emits microwave energy that completely fills its area of detection, much analogous ultrasonic sensors. A Gunn crystal rectifier emits energy in the x-range, similar in effect to Doppler frequency shifts. Any disturbance ca utilizationd by movement within the field of detection may activate the terror system/Buzzer. Despite fears held by many, these sensors do not adversely affect humans and pacemakers.1.5 SPECIFICTION True microwave Doppler shift operation Unaffected by heat, light, vowelize , humidity or temperature A real microwave transmitter/receiver runs at 1 GHz Runs on 9 to 15 volts DC ideal for car burglar alarms1.6 REQUIREMENTS DC Voltage, (+9V to +15V).

BNC plug to BNC plug cable 75 Ohms, 1 thousand1.7 APPLICATIONS OF MMDThe chief applications programmes for MMD have been accustomed bellow. Detection of unauthorized entry in our home, Offices and other dependant buildings. Detection of moving object which triggers a Camera to usher subsequent events or to hunt a Buzzer/Alarm, LED, Laser Diode etc. This relatively inexpensive and the MMD sewer easily be used in a variety of science projects, robots and other useful devices.1.8 BREIF HISTORY OF MOTION DETECTION Motion sight be detected by measuring mixed bag in speed or vector of an objector objects in field of view. This can be achieved either by mechanical d evices that physically, interact with the field or by electronic devices that quantify and mea trusteds changes in the given environment.1.9 PREVIOUS METHODS OF MOTION DETECTIONDifferent methods of motion detection were used in past. These are given bellow. Some methods have been obsolete. Some methods are still in used. 1.9.1 MECHANICAL DEVICESA tripwire is a plain form of motion detector. When an object steps into the tripwire s sensory field (i.e, trips the wire), then a simple sound device might alert to the user.1.9.2 ELECTRONIC DEVICESThe principal methods by which motion can be electronically identified are optical detection an acoustical detection. Infrared light or laser technologies may be used for optical detection. Microwaves are one of the best tools for motion detection.CHAPTER NO 2DOPPLER THEORY AND RADIATION PATTERN2.1 DOPPLER THEORYThe operation of the MMD is based on a physical scheme known as the Doppler marrow. In its simplest form the Doppler theory states t hat as sound, light or even radio waves are reflected back by a moving object, the frequency of these waves will be different from the frequency when the object is stationary. As the object moves away the frequency will decrease and if the object moves toward you, the frequency will increase. This effect is demonstrated very visibly (or should we imagine audibly) by a train whistle passing you. This change in frequency is due to the waves cosmos either stretched or compressed as they leave the moving object. Compressing the waves closer will have the effect of increasing the perceived frequency enchantment stretching the waves will cause the frequency to appear lower. This is obviously not the place for an in depth discussion of Doppler theory Just be sensible that it is the basis for the operation of the MMD. In fact, with an oscilloscope you can actually see this frequency change at U1 pin 10.Another phenomenon associated with waves is called the Doppler Effect. Imagine standi ng tight fitting a train track, and a train approaches you with its whistle blowing. The pitch of sound waves is associated with the frequency of the wave the higher the pitch, the higher the frequency.Thus, as the train approaches the frequency of the sound wave you hear is higher, and as it recedes the frequency is lower. This can be pictured by the following diagram.In this 2.1 the circles represent, as viewed from above, the crests of adjacent waves. Thus, if you are standing to the right, with the wave source moving towards you, more waves reach you per flash, which intend that the frequency you hear is higher.Conversely, if you stand to the left, with the wave source moving away from you, fewer waves reach you per second and the frequency you hear is lower.2.2 TYPICAL RADIATION PATTERN.The microwave motion detector racing circuit radiates the microwave frequency from an omni directional approach so the radiation convention for the electromagnetic waves is given as under. 2.3 RADIATION SAFETYMicrowave radiation from the faculty is well below established safety standards for general public environment, like ANSI C95.1-1991 of USA and NRPB-G11 of United Kingdom.2.4 HANDLINGThe staff is an electrostatic sensitive device (ESD). Precautions shall be observed for handling and assembly. Use the circuit module in an electromagnetic interference free environment to avoid errors in detection.2.5 FUNCTIONAL IMPROVEMENTThe module can be improved to calculate the speed of the moving object. This can also be used to find the direction of the moving object some additional circuitry is required for these functions.CHAPTER NO 3HARDWARE DESIGN OF MICROWAVE MOTION DETECTORIn this section it has been tried to cover hardware related topics of MMD.

If the testing is assured to be perfect now it is the time to assemble the PCB of microwave motion detector in a casing. there are three parts of the Assembly of the microwave motion detector. Composites Box Power Supply PCB Microwave Motion Detector PCB Power ON/ arrive at switch Motion indicator LED (Green LED)This street corner is made of fiber (Composites material).4.2.1 POWER SUPPLY PCBIn the following 4.2 assembled Power supply unit has been shown.4.2.2 MOTION DETECTOR PCBIn the following 4.2 assembled Main MMD PCB has been shown.Assemble the box in the following steps. quite a little the power supply PCB on the bottom of the box Mount the Microwave Motion Detector PCB in the box Mount the power switch on the box Mount the indicator LED on the box at the last. Final assembly is shown inn the .In the following 4.3 assembled MMD system has been shown. The MMD has been shown in the working conditions in a room, means it is sensing the movement of a moving body and giving its response of motion sensing by glowing up the LED.4.3 INSTRUCTION MANUALA switch is placed in the path of DC power so that the power can be saved in the time when the device is not in use. Turn off the switch after using the device and turn it on before using this device. The green light will glow automatically for approximately 5 seconds soon after bout on the device. This indication is not for a moving object but this light glows as a function of turning on the device.The Microwave motion detector is operated in the case where a moving object is needed to sense. In our design the circuit antenna is put in the position that it can sense a motion within the range of 2 meters approximately. When an object is moved within this range the motion is sense by the design and a green light blinks on the panel of the box. This is an indication for the moving object. It can sense another motion approximately 10 seconds after the first motion is sensed. For better sensitivity this device may be used in the electromagnetic interference free environment so that the waves cannot interfere in the produced frequency of the device. Also it must be operated in the vibration free environment so that its antenna must be in static condition if it is in the vibration itself it will sense the motion when nothing is in moving condition, it is due the motion of its own antenna that the frequency is transmitted and received itself by the moving antenna and the green light on the panel keeps on glowing that is an operator fault and can be rectified by placing the device on a balanced plane surface.A special care for the Microwave Motion detector is that operate the circuit in the box and never use the PCB alone because this PCB needs special care for the electrostatic charge. An external supply port may be given in the bo x so that a regulated DC power can also be applied externally to the device. For external power be careful about the polarity of the given DC power.CHAPTER NO 5OPERATION OF MICROWAVE MOTION DETECTOR5.1 WORKING PRINCPAL OF MICROWAVE front man DETECTORMicrowave generating and receiving module generates and transmits a microwave signal which is reflected by a moving target and received back by the module. The module comprises a disc-form Shottky diode or Gunn diode acting as both oscillator and mixer and forming part of micro strip circuitry and signal processing circuitry which processes the reflected signal to extract applicable target information. The signal processing circuitry can be physically displaced from the module and connected to it by a coaxial line. By operating the diode in the diplex mode the requisite target information can be provided for with a compact construction.A microwave movement detector comprising a microwave generating and receiving module for use in gene rating and transmitting a microwave signal to be intercepted and reflected by a moving target and for receiving the reflected microwave signal from state target, wherein the microwave generating and receiving module comprises micro strip circuitry in combining with a diode acting as both an oscillator and a mixer, said detector further comprising modulating means for modulating the generated microwave signal so that quantitive information as to target range, swiftness and direction can be obtained, whereby the detector operates in conformity with a diplex configuration, wherein said detector includes a transmitter for transmitting the modulate generated microwave signal, and wherein the modulating means repetitively switches the transmitter of the microwave generating and receiving module between two frequencies to provide a signal having two spectral lines separated by gaps between the frequencies. This imposture relates to a microwave movement detector particularly although not exclusively for use as an intruder alarm.An object of the present invention is to provide a microwave movement detector which is sensitive and reliable in operation til now which can be constructed in a simple and inexpensive manner with a conveniently small and compact format.5.2 GENERAL STUDY RELATED TO THE MMD fit to one aspect of the invention therefore a microwave movement detector comprises a microwave generating and receiving module for use in generating a transmitted microwave signal to be intercepted by a moving target and for receiving a reflected microwave signal from such(prenominal) target, in which the module comprises microstrip circuitry in combination with a Shottky diode arranged to act both as an oscillator and also as a mixer.With this arrangement, great operational sensitivity and reliability can be achieved and yet the module can be constructed in a simple and inexpensive manner as a conveniently small and compact device. In one build the module may be in t he form of a thin disc having a thickness of, say 0.5 cm, and a diam which may be as small as about 3 cm.The said module may be connected to signal processing circuitry antiphonal to the relationship between the transmitted and reflected signals, for example so as to produce an output whenever target movement is detected, or only so as to produce an output when one or more parameters of such movement (range, velocity, direction) are of a predetermined nature or changes in a predetermined manner. close conveniently, said signal processing circuitry may be provided in the form of a signal processing module separate from the aforesaid generating and receiving module, and, in accordance with one embodiment, the two modules may be up to 100 m away from each other and interconnected by a simple coaxial or twin cable. The signal processing module may be powered by mains supply, or a 12 V d.c. battery or otherwise as appropriate, and such module may also act to supply operating power to the generating and receiving module.The output produced by the signal processing module may be utilized for alarm purposes to actuate a separate remote warning bell or siren or buzzer or the like. Alternatively, if desired, the movement detector of the invention may incorporate an alarm module connected to the said signal processing module and arranged to produce spiel warning tone when actuated by said output. Such alarm module may incorporate a stand-by rechargeable battery.As mentioned above, the detector of the invention may operate in the manner of a simple Doppler detector sensitive only to movement, but preferably the transmitted microwave signal is modulated so that quantitative information as to range, velocity and direction can be obtained, the detector thereby operating in accordance with a diplex configuration. With such diplex configuration, advantageously the requisite information can be obtained with a particularly simple construction.In accordance with one embodimen t of the invention, the diplex, configuration is such that the transmitter is repetitively switched between two frequencies say 3 MHZ apart at X-band to give two discrete spectral lines separated by 3 MHZ . The magnitude of such frequency difference may be decreased with increase in the level best range to be measured (beyond say 25 m). The reflected signal from a moving target results, after mixing in the Shottky diode, in a reflected signal which is a composite of two Doppler signals sampled sequentially at the modulation rate (say 10 kH Z ). The relative phase of these Doppler signals provides range and velocity sense information, whilst the Doppler beat frequency is proportional to the target velocity relative to the detector. The switching of the transmitter between the two frequencies may be achieved by square-wave modulation of the Shottky diode bias current. With such square-wave modulation particularly simple video circuitry may be used, however sinusoidal modulation may a lternatively be used and this allows improved range resolution without reducing the maximum unambiguous range.With regard to the Shottky diode, this may be a conventional barrier injection transit time device formed from a p + np + construction. Alternatively, a specially fabricated ion-implanted device or an electron type Shottky diode may be utilized.While the utilization of a Shottky diode constitutes an inwrought feature of the first aspect of the present invention, it has been found that the utilization of a Gunn diode (i.e. a transfer electron diode) may be advantageous in the context of the present invention in the case where microstrip circuitry of diplex configuration (as described above) is also utilized. Thus, and in accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a microwave movement detector comprising a microwave generating and receiving module for use in generating a transmitted microwave signal to be intercepted by a moving target and for receiving a reflected microwave signal from such target, in which the said module comprises microstrip circuitry in combination with a Gunn diode arranged to act both as an oscillator and as a mixer, said circuitry being of diplex configuration.Whilst it is anticipated that the present invention will find particular application in the context of an intruder alarm such as a burglar alarm, it is to be understood that the invention is not intended to be restricted to this field of application and the detector of the invention may be utilized for detecting movement of persons or vehicles or any other suitable targets in any suitable environment for any suitable purpose. When utilized as an intruder alarm the said generating and receiving module, due to its contingent small size, can be easily and conveniently concealed. Also multiple such modules may be utilized together to enable a large area to be protected. By virtue of the range gate facility, false alarms can be minimized. In the case where the invention is applied to the monitoring of vehicles, a standard Doppler format may be used. Selective monitoring can be achieved by virtue of the direction sense of the detector, and the range gate facility is useful in distinguishing vehicles in a cluttered environment. In the case where the invention is applied to the counting of persons entering or leaving an enclosure, due to the direction sense of the detector it is possible to distinguish between persons entering and leaving.Due to the use of the Shottky diode in diplex mode in microstrip circuitry, and having regard to the fact that the diode acts both as oscillator and mixer, a particularly simple, inexpensive and compact construction results.It is of course to be understood that the invention is not intended to be restricted to the details of the above embodiment which are described by way of example only.5.3 THE MMD HOW OUR DESIGN WORKS3.2.1 All the RF magic is accomplished with Q3 and D1. Q3 is a free runnin g microwave oscillator operating at a frequency of approximately 1.0 GHz. The frequency is determined by the length of the etched strip line and the lead lengths (inductance) of the associated oscillator components.3.2.2 The microwave RF energy that is developed by the oscillator is radiated in an omni-directional pattern from the antenna. This radiated energy will fill the surrounding area with radio waves. These waves will be reflected back toward the antenna.3.2.3 hithers where the Doppler Effect comes in. If within that area there is an object that is moving, the waves that are reflected will either be higher in frequency if the object is moving closer or lower if moving away. The MD3 doesnt really care which direction it is only looking for a frequency difference.3.2.4 The radiated signal and the redirected signal are mixed at diode D1. The difference in the two frequencies provides the input to U1 C pin 10. This frequency (the difference) is in the range of 10 Hz to 40 Hz. U1 C is the amplifier that feeds the sensitivity potentiometer R8.3.2.5 Transistors Q1 and Q2 function as a very precise voltage regulator providing the proper bias to the amplifiers.3.2.6 U1 D functions as a band pass filter and amplifier. Buffer amplifier U1 A provides the drive to output transistor Q4.CHAPTER 6 INTERFACING TECHNIQUESIf we want to extend this project at higher level we are required to interface the MMD circuit output with the extended circuitry with the help of following circuit diagrams.(THESE TECHENQUES HAS NOT BEEN USED IN OUR PROJECT)6.1 INTERFACING CIRCUITSThe MD-3 output transistor provides a pulse when motion is sensed. Here a probably asked question is, How do I make it do something? We can interface this circuit with many other circuits a few examples are given below.6.1.1 Interfacing with the relay can drive another circuit it may be a light, a camera, an alarm system etc.6.1.2 The microwave motion detector circuit can be interfaced with a transistor (PNP o r NPN).This transistor act as a relay it can also drive some other circuits it could be a light or any security system or an automatic door opening system.7.1 CONCLUSION
