In this project, we need to designed and develop a portable meter system used for measuring speed of wind using ultrasonic techniques. This device also called as Ultrasonic Wind Speed Meter (Anemometer). Ultrasonic Wind Speed Meter (Anemometer) is the new technology to senses wind flow. This wind speed meter is intended for use in a variety of sports activities such as track events, sailing, hang-gliding, model aircraft flying, kite and a few more. It can even be used to monitor the conditions in garden. This ultrasonic wind speed meter is operating when wind blowing between two 40 kHz ultrasonic transducer which are assign as Xi and X2. The readout was display on the LCD with reading in meter per second (m/s), feet per second (ft/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), and miles per hour (mph). The resolution is nearest tenth meter per second, from Omph up to around 5 Omph, and possibly higher.
