Introduction
Radio remote devices are designed to operate equipment remotely
using radio waves as a means of transmission over long distance, which
may be up to kilometers. They are mostly used in situation where it is
necessary for an operator, either for safety reasons or ease of use, is
not restricted by a control transmitting handset.
I am motivated to embarked on designing a radio remote control which
can be used in situations where handling machine or device has to be
guided remotely without the aid of cables or conductors. Due to
limitation of infra red remote control, a radio remote control was
designed as it has the advantage of controlling devices through walls.
The remainder of this proposal will examine the project architecture
and associated detail.
Methodology
The remote control system consist of two sections, a transmitter and
receiver. The remote is based on use of radio frequency spectrum as
transmitting medium. It uses 434Mhz ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying)
transmitter and receiver module. The process of modulation and
demodulation is used at transmitter and receiver respectively. A
microcontroller (PIC16F628A) is used as encoder in the transmitter and
decoder in the receiver circuit. When a button is pressed on the
transmitter it generates the corresponding RF radio frequency signals,
and these signals are received by the receiver unit. The block diagram
of the whole circuit is shown in the diagram below.
In order to have the microcontroller perform some controlling action,
there is need to communicate with it and tell it what to do by providing
a set of instructions. So, there is need for a programming language, the
code for the microcontroller will be written using c language.
The implementation of my project will be based on the circuit diagram
for both transmitter and receiver as shown in the two diagrams shown
below. The circuit is designed and simulated using proteus CAD
software.

Project Plan
The project plan is as follows;

 Sourcing for the electronics parts, some of the components are

not available locally, so we are to order some componente online,
from China.
 Building the transmitting system(transmitter unit).
 Building the receiving system (receiver unit).
 Testing the whole system after constructing the units.
 Plan to complete this project within two weeks for the hardware
construction and writing the codes for the microcontroller

Conclusion
We hope everything will be in order and this design will meet the
expected result. I aimed to use the device for remote switching of
electrical equipments, for long and short range control of home
appliances
