Infrared (IR) Proximity (Distance) Sensor

The photodiode can be used to detect IR reflected from the object. However, IR produced by the ambient conditions also detected by the photodiode. This IR noise must be filtered to prevent false detections. Usually, the LED’s IR signal is modulated with a convenient frequency and then using that modulation to detect only IR to filter the IR noise. So, […]
