Study and Implementation of an Infrared Remote Control

Abstract

This memorandum presents a project for designing a wireless control system using infrared (IR) technology and Arduino. It begins with the study of wireless communication technologies and their main components such as the emitter, receiver, antenna, and encryption protocol, along with a comparison of the most popular communication technologies such as infrared, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound waves, and voice control. The second chapter focuses on IR control technology, explaining its components and working method in detail. The third chapter discusses the Arduino platform, analyzing its different types such as "Nano" and "Uno" and their control programs, in addition to the NEC protocol used for remote control. In the final chapter, practical results are presented by building a circuit consisting of an IR emitter and receiver to execute commands such as turning on a light. The project aims to demonstrate how IR technology can be used for wireless control using Arduino and serves as a useful reference for researchers and enthusiasts in wireless communication and electronic control applications.
