Wireless Communication Projects for Engineering Students

Wireless communication is defined as sending information from one point to another point or multiple points without using wires. Wireless communication allows long-range communication, whereas in other communications it is impossible to implement using wires. This communication is used in telecommunication industries and it uses some type of energy to transfer information without using wires over short & long distances. These technologies use radio waves using the radio for short and long-distance radio communications. This communication is mainly used in mobile, fixed, and portable devices that include PDAs, radio, cell phones, and the applications of wireless communication projects include garage door openers, GPS, wireless computer mice keyboards, satellite vision, headsets, broadcast television, etc.


Wireless Communication Projects

Wireless communication-based projects mainly involve different types of wireless technologies such as GPS, Bluetooth, FID, Zigbee, and GSM. For a better understanding of these wireless communication technologies, we have discussed it with projects.

When the entered password is right, then the door will be open otherwise it will generate a buzzer sound. Further, this project can be enhanced by using an EEPROM so that the password can be changed by the authorized person.

DTMF based Load Control System

This load control system using dual-tone multi-frequency is used to switch any electrical loads. In various industries, agriculture fields, and in the houses different loads are located in large areas so, controlling loads is a difficult task. To overcome this problem, the proposed system is designed to control the loads remotely by using DTMF technology

A cell phone is connected to a DTMF decoder with this project from its audio o/p outlet for receiving tone instructions. The receiving cell phone codes are changed into digital instructions by using a DTMF Decoder which will recognize the frequency of the key and alter that frequency to its corresponding digital code which is then fed to a microcontroller. According to the instructions sent from the mobile user, the 8051 microcontrollers will send indications through a buffer to activate the particular loads by switching the relays ON/OFF. These relays are triggered by a relay driver IC connected to the microcontroller.

Day by day, the usage of two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles is increasing radically. So accident rates are also increased due to over speed, over stress, gadgets usage while driving, mind diverts, drunk & drive. This project implements a detection system for accidents that may occur due to the negligence of the vehicle driver.

To overcome this problem, an alerting system for accidents is implemented to give an alert to the driver of the vehicle. Once the vehicle accident takes place then this proposed system will send the information regarding the accident to the registered phone number. Wireless Camera Position System

This project designs a system for positioning the wireless camera to monitor the audio or video signals through a PC. The development of this system can be done using the RFID system, microcontroller like AT89S52, and circuits for motor driving & PC interfacing.

In modern technology, some devices use high temperatures to offer a temperature control device. But, in some situations, control devices will not work properly so at that time alarm device for over temperature is installed.

For each student, a specifically authorized tag is allotted. This tag is mainly used for swiping for storing the attendance within the RFID reader. This tag includes an IC to store as well as process the student’s data.

Wireless Traffic Light Controller

This project is used to implement a traffic light control system so that traffic at the junction can be effectively controlled through wireless remote control. This system includes two modes like manual mode and automatic mode. In manual mode, traffic lights can be controlled by a policeman by just pressing the button linked to the route of the lane to make a green light signal.

In another mode, the board of traffic light controller will modify the sequence of light based on the fixed patterns & time delay, so the traffic policeman can modify the pattern at any time through the remote. So in this project, traffic policeman can control the traffic junction and changes the traffic flow conditions dynamically.

Here, Arduino Uno is used to calculating & displaying the parameters of weather over an LCD display.

These parameters can be sent using the IoT technique to the internet. So this data transmission process to the Internet can be repeated using WiFi. To check this data, the user has to visit a particular website. This proposed system connects & stores the information on a web server. So the user will get the live weather reporting conditions.

For an alternative to wireless communication, UWB is an upcoming communication. There are many companies in the USA that have started developing as well as using the UWB systems. As compared with RF systems, UWB transmits the data with pulses in place of a carrier wave. This project presents a transmitter that is used for UWB radio with several bands.

The implementation of this transmitter can be done on a system level using MATLAB & Simulink. At the component level, the frequency can be generated within the transmitter.

Home Water Heater Control & Saving through MATLAB

Electric water heaters can easily become inefficient due to overheating of water & parasitic heat loss. So, these inefficiencies can be easily solved through monitoring of hot water at home. A smart sensor like AquAdapt can be attached to any existing electric water heater or residential gas.
