TEAM UDAAN PRESENTS
Arduino Based
Radar System
Blending hardware, code, and creativity to build
real-time object detection.
01. Introduction
Defining the core technology and why the Arduino platform is the
perfect choice for rapid prototyping.
What is Radar & Why Arduino?
RADAR Concept Arduino Brain Object Detection
Standing for Radio Detection An open-source, affordable Real-time environment scanning
and Ranging, it uses signal microcontroller that seamlessly with a 180° field of view,
reflection to measure distance. interfaces with sensors and providing spatial awareness for
Our system adapts this using servos. Ideal for embedded autonomous applications.
Ultrasonic Waves. systems education.
The Brain: Arduino Uno
ATmega328P Power
The Arduino Uno acts as the central control unit. It
processes sensor data, calculates object distance, and
precisely controls the servo motor's sweeping motion via
PWM signals.
14 Digital I/O Pins
6 Analog Inputs
16 MHz Clock Speed
The Eyes: HC-SR04 Sensor
Ultrasonic Precision
The HC-SR04 emits 40kHz sonic bursts and listens for the echo.
By measuring the time-of-flight, it calculates the distance to any
obstacle.
Distance = (Time × 0.034) / 2
02. Circuit Architecture
The structural layout of the hardware connections that bring the radar to
life.
The Circuit Diagram
Interfacing & Wiring
The circuit utilizes a breadboard to distribute 5V power and
ground to both the SG90 Servo and the Ultrasonic Sensor. All
control signals are routed directly to the Arduino's digital pins.
Power: 5V Rail via Arduino
Trigger: Digital Pin 10
Echo: Digital Pin 11
Servo: Digital Pin 12

Software & GUI
Processing IDE Visualization
The Arduino sends data over serial at 9600 baud. The
Processing GUI reads these coordinates and draws a
professional radar sweep screen.
