The purpose of the project on the Construction of the Ultrasonic Pulse Radar is to build a project demonstration to illustrate the concept of radar principles for the benefit of future students who will be studying and learning to use National Instruments LabVIEW and the Elvis platform as a part of the study curriculum. The objectives will be the manipulation of an ultrasonic pulse waveform with the aid of ultrasonic transmitter and receiver sensors, which will also be used for the detection of objects. The use of motor would be required to rotate the sensors around to calculations have to be done to find out the rotating angle and distance of the object from the sensors, then it should allow for viewing to be done on LabVIEW. Detailed elaboration on the knowledge gained, as well as the process and progress of the project will be further explained throughout the report.
