INTRODUCTION

1.1   The General Description of Project

Due to advance electron logy in the electronic which gave rise to automation of electronic system in domestic and industrial use. This development is what gave me the courage to choose a project topic on sound detector with alarm system. This system employ four discreet stages with power supply namely, the pick up microphone, Amplifier, Schmih trigger, thysistor switch circuit with rally circuit and 1kHz turn generator which from the alarm circuit at the input of the system a transducer which a capacitor microphone whose the function is to piece the sound and it out put to feed in to class. A amplifier microphone preamplifier of two transistor stage cable of amplifier the sound to a standard were it be accepted by the schmih trigger or built using comparator with hysterics. This comparator with hysterics is acting as amuroge to digital convector (AID) whose one put switching between high or low conditionally. An interface containing a transistor switching circuit with rally at it out put such that once a sound is pick up out the input the rally is energized capable of switching an alarm circuit on.

1.2   Objective Design

The main objective design of the project is to design and construct an electronically operated system capable of picking sound of a visitor at the door processing the alarm put natural sound wave to an out put electrical sound signal to alarm signal to alert the people inside the house  that some body is at the door outside, also it help increasing the standard exposure in the practical aspect of engineering training.

1.3     Significance of the Study

The project designed work on sound detector with alarm quite, applicable in almost everywhere like industries and for domestic use for instance it could serve as audio activated door bell for office installation also used to monitor an intruder in our domestic places.

1.4     The Report Layout

For clarity and simplicity, the report is divided into five chapters. The chapter one deals on the introduction, which centers on general description of project, design objectives, significance of the project and the report layout. The next chapter which is chapter two is on the literature review which talks on the historical background of sound detector with alarm system theories and models relevant to the design, list and description of the system component and lastly distinction between the existing method of design and the new approach. Chapter three is on system design and which is all about the description of the system building blocks, system design specification, block diagram of the system, description of the overall operation of the system. Component list and complete circuit diagram of a sound detector with alarm system. Chapter four is on implementation, testing and results. Then chapter five is one cost analysis conclusion and recommendation.

As maximum measure of comprehensibility was ensured throughout the report. This is indicated by the pattern of presentation and consistent system of rotation. This I believe will ensure maximum reader satisfaction.

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1     Historical Background of The Project

This kind of project was first designed at university of Lagos using discreet components throughout and moving coil microphone as an input transducer and the latest module to be designed using carbon microphone as an input transducer and few transistor with three integrated circuits IC’s which calls for high degree of reliability. The integrated circuit like NC 555 their which is a very versatile building block for almost every electronic circuits is use to build the alarm circuit of the project design work in my own project design work I have chosen to add some newly inverted circuit like RV delay in discreet logic gate used to firm invertors whose out put drives a 12V delay finally is been interfaces by an alarm circuit. The discreet logic circuit (transistor switching circuit) was designed from the first principle using some of the transistor parameters that come from to that particular design.

The out put was connected to an inductive load, but I had wanted to used a static switching system which is far fetching

2.2     Theories and Models Relevant to the Design.

The theories and models relevant to this design are that of electromagnetic waves introduced by James Clerk Maxwell and Heinich Hertz in the mid 1800s, switching action of transistor switching transistor and oscillation. In electromagnetic waves as show below in accordance with their wave lengths and frequencies.
