| Summary: | Passive Forward Scattering Radar (PFSR) is a great system that can be used to
identify ground moving targets, especially in unsafe areas for reason such as protection and
security. Although PFSR can detect any moving target, there are some limitations as PFSR
cannot measure height and detect small target such as a drone flying in the sky. A drone is a
good device based on the latest technologies, therefore it can also be very dangerous as it can
fly in the sky entering prohibited areas that can, for example, breach a border protection
system. By developing a system using ultrasonic range sensor interfacing with Raspberry Pi
(RPi) and also implementing Internet of Things (IoT) using mobile phone application, which is
Telegram, as a security alarm system, this system can integrate with PFSR to be a better
system. This project aims to improve the PFSR system with an ultrasonic range sensor remote
measuring device. When set up next to the PFSR system, the ultrasonic range sensor has large
distance measurement capabilities and use low power to operate. Since ultrasonic range sensors
cannot work by themselves, the RPi was used as an operating host that helped to operate and
collect data. Then, the data collected was saved into Comma Separated Values (CSV) files to
be sent to Telegram mobile application later to the user as notification. The data collected from
both systems were compared in order to relate that the ultrasonic range sensor system can
indeed support the PFSR system. Since the result was obtained and analysis was done
successfully, it can be concluded that the system can support the PFSR system, whereby as the
drone height (cm) increased, the signal captured in time (sec) decreased. In addition, this
system can contribute in many areas such as borders or streets, to detect speed of vehicles or as
a traffic surveillance system and for some other reasons such as protection, security and
research. |
