 Abstract:
Now-a-days everything in this world is
getting wireless. Infrared rays’
transmission is one of the most important
ways of wireless communication. An
infrared transmission/reception apparatus
and a method thereof in which an infrared
transmission output is changed to
transmit a plurality of station finding
commands, and an infrared transmission
output for such a station finding command
out of the plurality of station finding
commands as returning a station finding
response from a secondary station is used
to perform a subsequent communication.
Thus, communication can be performed
with the minimum infrared output
regardless of the opposite apparatus.
Infrared communication has heretofore
been known in which infrared light is used
to perform communication among
apparatuses. According to the infrared
communication, for a distance of about 1
m from a communication object the
communication can be performed without
performing connection via a cable, and
the like, which is convenient for use, and
which provides an advantage that the
communication can be realized with a
simple constitution as compared with the
communication using radio waves. From
such advantage, the infrared
communication is preferably applied to
small apparatuses such as a note type
personal computer and a portable
information terminal. In this project we
illustrate the process by which music can
be transmitted through IR rays.
Introduction:
Using this circuit, audio musical notes can be
generated and can be heard up to a distance of 10
meters. The receiver can be placed at a maximum
distance of 1 meter from the transmitter without any
considerable noise interference. The circuits of
transmitter and receiver are quite simple and can be
placed and carried any where easily. The small
apparatus provided with the infrared communication
function is in many cases operated by a battery
incorporated inside so that it is convenient when a
user carries it during movement, and it is preferable
that power consumption be minimized also to
lengthen the continuous operation possible time of IR
emission is optimized. We don’t make use of any of
modulation techniques when working with IR rays.
Hence there is no necessity of carrier generation. This
makes the transmitter and receiver designs much
simpler. However the communication distance can be
improved by using Far IR LEDs. The range of
communication can be increased to about 250 meters
by using far IR LEDs. In the apparatus provided with
a conventional infrared communication function,
however, the infrared light with a constant intensity is
constantly radiated regardless of the communication
distance. This project emphasizes the way by which
music is generated and driven by IR rays and gives
an explanation to the one of the methods of receiving
IR rays without considerable noise interference.

 Applications:

Today every one is looking for portability of

electronic gadgets. The IR rays communication can
play a crucial role in developing such wireless
gadgets. Here are a few gadgets that can be built
using IR transmission and reception systems.

Wire less music systems

The principle used in above circuits can be used in
wireless music systems. The speakers that we use to
day in our desktop computers can be made wireless
by using infrared ray transmission. This increases the
portability of the audio systems and in fact a desktop
computer can be used as disc-man in your room.

Mobile gadgets
The same principle of IR audio Transmission can be
Optimized transmitter circuit that uses a portable used in cord less earphones which can be very useful
music player to test the circuit especially when you are driving.

Circuit description:
The circuit can be divided into two parts: IR music
transmitter and receiver. The IR music transmitter
works off a 9V battery, while the IR music receiver
works off regulated 9V to 12V. Fig. 1 shows the
circuit of the IR music transmitter. It uses popular
melody generator IC UM66 (IC1) that can
continuously generate musical tones. The output of
IC1 is fed to the IR driver stage (built across the
transistors T1 and T2) to get the maximum range.
Here the red LED (LED1) flickers according to the
musical tones generated by UM66 IC, indicating
modulation. IR LED2 and LED3 are infrared
transmitting LEDs. For maximum sound transmission
these should be oriented towards IR phototransistor
L14F1 (T3). The IR music receiver uses popular op-
amp IC μA741 and audio-frequency amplifier IC
LM386 along with phototransistor L14F1 and some
discrete components (Fig. 2). The melody generated
by IC UM66 is transmitted through IR LEDs, Wireless Infrared earphones
received by phototransistor T3 and fed to pin 2 of IC
μA741 (IC2). Its gain can be varied using potential
meter VR1. The output of IC μA741 is fed to IC
LM386 (IC3) via capacitor C5 and potential meter
VR2.The melody produced is heard through the
receiver’s loudspeaker. Potential meter VR2 is used
to control the volume of loudspeaker LS1 (8-ohm,
1W). Switching off the power supply stops
melody generation.
 CC Cameras
IR ray transmission can be employed in microphones
that can be used in cc cameras. This reduces the
complexity to a great extent. The audio systems that
are employed today for security purposes in cc
cameras can be replaced with IR transmission
systems which are quite simple and easy to handle.

Conclusion:
IR ray communication is very easy to understand and
simple to implement. It finds various applications in
short distance field of communications. It is one of
the best ways of building wireless gadgets. In future
there is scope of building virtual environment using
the principles of IR ray transmission and reception.
Virtual gaming which also employs IR reception
techniques is still in research process which is soon
going to rule the world of gaming.
