Infrared Remote Control and Receiver
An Infrared Remote Control and Receiver is a wireless communication system designed to transmit and receive commands using infrared light signals. The remote control emits coded infrared pulses, typically modulated at a specific frequency such as 38 kHz, which the receiver detects and decodes into usable electrical signals for controlling electronic devices. This technology is widely used in televisions, audio systems, projectors, air conditioners, and other consumer electronics due to its low cost, reliability, and ease of use. The receiver module generally includes a photodiode, amplifier, and demodulator in a compact package, ensuring stable performance even under varying ambient light conditions. Together, the remote and receiver enable convenient, cable-free control over compatible devices, offering simple operation and long service life.
