Ultrasonic sensors are most commonly used due to its simplicity and low cost. The accuracy of the measured distance is dependent on the separation between the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver. This dependency has been studied and reported in this paper. The result shows that the accuracy of distance measured is dependent on the separation between the transmitter and the receiver.

INTRODUCTION Distance measurement of an object in front or by the side of a moving or stationary entity is required in a large number of devices and gadgets. These devices may be small or large and also quite simple or complicated. Distance measurement systems for such applications are available. These use various kinds of sensors and systems. Low cost and accuracy as well as speed are important in most of the applications. Hence ultrasonic sensors are most commonly used. To main
