AI Thread Summary
To integrate an ultrasonic radar with a computer for motion detection, users recommend using ultrasonic range detectors and incorporating a motor for rotation to enhance functionality. Various robotics kits are available from sources like Parallax, Heathkit, and Velleman, which can aid in building the necessary setup. These kits can provide essential components for creating a motion detection system. Additionally, users emphasize the importance of measuring the radar's pointing direction for effective detection. This approach can help achieve a successful integration of ultrasonic radar with computer systems.

I'm new to this forum, and I'm a Computer Engineer who recently have a lot of passion for circuits.

Can anyone help me with a Ultrasonic Radar with can be worked in unison with my Computer to detect any movement.

Thankyou all for helping me in advance

These guys make a some kits for robotics
This device is an ultra sound range detector, to make a real radar you would also want to add a motor to rotate it and some way of measuring where it was pointing.

http://www.heathkit.com/ and http://www.vellemanusa.com/us/enu/product/list/?id=523008 are also a good source of kits for robotics type things

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
