Ultrasonic sound waves are high frequency waves which is inaudible to human ear.

It also had hell lot of

applications in this world like range detection,machinery flaw detection etc. This Ultrasonic receiver
circuit demonstrates the building of ultrasonic wave receiver which matches with the transmitter.

WORKING OF ULTRASONIC RECIEVER CIRCUIT:

This circuit uses a simple ultrasonic receiver ( transducer) which converts the incoming ultrasonic wave
to equivalent voltage. The signal is then passed through a non inverting amplifier built using
Quad Op amp IC LM324. The gain of the amplifier can be controlled using a feedback resistor R3
connected from output to the inverting terminal.
Then this signal is further passed to the next stage of non inverting amplifier. There the signal is further
amplified and the output is obtained from the pin 7 of the LM324 IC . The signal is then rectified using a
diode and passed through a Resistor R5 and Capacitor C2 to prevent the false triggering in the output.

 Final stage of the op amp is wired as an comparator which gives high output when ever a ultrasonic
wave is detected by the transducer and low signal whenever there is no wave detected by the
transducer.
This circuit along with the transmitter can be used to build simple robots in which it will assist the robot
to evade the obstacles lying ahead them. Also can be used in range detection when used with a
Microcontroller.
