INTRODUCTION
Infrared rays are an efficient means of communication and data transfer. The
merits of this technique are that it does not require physical connection between devices,
it is cost effective and it is simple and easy to implement.
1.1 OBJECTIVE
Radio Waves travel in all the directions. So there is no privacy and security of
data. Special licenses are also required from government in order to use these waves for
transmission. Ultrasonic waves are directional and travel only to a limited distance. Laser
beam is highly directional. So alignment poses a very great problem. Laser diodes are
expensive. Laser beam is very hazardous to human beings. The problems mentioned
above are not encountered in case of Infrared beam.
Since we are using a wireless system here, security of the data transmitted is of
utmost importance as any other external infrared device would be able to pick up the
optical pulses and demodulate it to get the message. Encryption plays a major role in data
privacy, and is used in this system to ensure security.
The systems are connected through the serial communication port where the baud
rate can be set at 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600, which indicates the bits per second transfer
rate. To enhance performance, we compress the file to be transferred, thereby reducing
transmission time.
2.0 PROBLEM DEFINITION AND METHODOLOGY
2.1 DEFINITION
This project aims to design wireless communication between two
computer systems for the transfer of data. The project must have the following
features.
1. The data transfer must be secured and the transmission should be fast.
2. The data transfer must be wireless.
