Design of a Short Range Optical Pulse Transceiver System for Intruder Detection

Abstract

Recent advancement in wireless technology enables free transmission between devices and automatic operation within the home areas. In this paper, we develop, design and implement an optical pulse transmitter and receiver systems to create the real ubiquitous communication link. To show the reality of the design, the optical pulse transceiver system is configured to allow detection of an intruder within a secured laboratory in Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) using a wireless link. In implementing the design, two sets of circuits, a transmitter circuit for transmitting information in the form of a signal from the source input and a receiver circuit for receiving the transmitted signal were designed. We achieved this by integrating analog component on two circuit boards. The system was simulated using Multisim, and simulation results were per the design specifications.
