ABSTRACT
Now days, privacy is a serious issue due to rapid growth in mobile
communication; Mobile phones became a part of our life, even if we are in
meeting, public library, schools, and Conference centers which interrupt the
privacy. Moreover there is high chance of surprises leakage of defense
meeting and terrorists use technological tools for terrorist activities.
This report contained a concise design of multiband mobile phone jammer that
could jam the signals by providing a dead zone to the communication media
and that can also be used by special personalities while travelling to any
other place to protect from any terrorist activities.
This project completed in two steps:
Step 1: Study the best and cost effective jamming technique, establishing the
system design and select suitable components.
Step 2: Buying the components, drawing the simulations, fabricate the
components, taking measurements and testing of multiband jammer.
At the end this designed jammer was successful in jamming the FM, AM, TV
channels and GSM-signals at the end of report.

Introduction & History

1.1 Introduction
With so many people using cell Mobiles phones now days, one of the measures that
have popped- up on the market are cell phone jammers.
So, for those people that are tired of hearing endless cell phone conversations or
constantly being interrupted by incessant cell phone ring tones, a cell phone jammer
seems like the perfect device.
As with other radio jamming, cell phone jammers block cell phone use by sending out
radio waves along the same frequencies that cellular phones operate on. It causes
enough nosiness with the communication between cell phones and towers to render so
that the phones are becomes unused able. On the Mobile phones, the network simply
appears as out of range. Cell phones use different bands to send and receive
communications from towers. Jammers work by either disrupting phone to tower
frequencies or tower to phone frequencies. Type A Jammer block all bands from
40MHz to 1900MHz within a 15-foot range (5 meters). Small devices tend to use the
previous method, in which larger more costly models may interfere directly with the
tower. The distance of jamming can range from a dozen feet for pocket models to
kilometers for more dedicated units.
Older jammers sometimes were limited to working on phones using only analoge or
older digital mobile phone principles. Latest Jammer such as the double and triple
band jammers can block all widely used GSM Networks and are even very effective
against newer phones which hop to different frequencies and systems when interfered
with. Due to the principal network technology and frequencies used for mobile
phones vary worldwide; some work only in particular countries like Europe, North
America or Pakistan.
The effect of Jammer can vary widely that depend on factors such as proximity to
towers, indoor and outdoor settings, presence of buildings and landscape, even
temperature and humidity play a role.

1.1 History of Jamming

During World War II ground radio operators would attempt to mislead pilots by false
information in their own Codes, in what was more indeed a deceiving attack than
jamming. Jamming of radar is also important to disrupt use of radar used to guide an
enemys aircrafts and missiles. Latest safe communication techniques use such
methods as spread spectrum modulation to resist the deleterious effects of jamming.
Jamming of foreign radio broadcast stations has often been used in wartime (and
during periods of tense international relations) to prevent or deter citizens from
listening to broadcasts from opponent/enemys countries. But such jamming is usually
of limited effectiveness because the affected station usually varies/changes
frequencies, placed on additional frequencies and/or increase transmission power.
Jamming has also occasionally been used by the Governments of Germany (during
WW2), Israel, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, China, North and South Korea and numerous Latin
American countries, also by Ireland against pirate radio stations e.g. Radio Nova.US
government used to coordinated, distinctly located transmitters to jam the foreigner
radio ship, Radio North Sea International off the coast of Britain in 1970.

1.2 World War Two

In occupied Europe the Nazis attempted to jam broadcasts to the continent from the
BBC and other associated stations. Laterally with increasing transmitter power and
adding further frequencies, efforts were made to counteract the jamming by dropping
leaflets over cities instructing listeners to construct a directional loop aerial that would
enable them to hear the stations through the jamming. In the Netherlands such jammer
were nicknamed "moffenzeef".

1.3 Cold War era

In the Cold War Soviet jamming of some Western broadcasters led to a "power race"
in which broadcasters and jammers alike repeatedly increased their transmission
power, used highly directional antennas and added extra frequencies to the already
heavily overcrowded shortwave bands to such an extent that many broadcasters not
directly targeted by the jammers (including pro-Soviet stations) suffered from the
rising levels of noise and interference.
To make Radio Free Europe and its sister service Radio Liberty were the main target
of Soviet jammers followed by Voice of America and the BBC World Service.
Other stations targeted by the Soviet jammers (but not to the same extent as
RFE/RL/VOA/BBC) included Deutsche Welle and sometimes Radio disabler.
Jamming frequently took place during programming in languages widely spoken in
Eastern Bloc countries (e.g., Russian, Polish, etc.).

Certain parts of the world were more impacted by these broadcasting practices than
others

Eurasia (worst affected, including medium wave frequencies particularly

720 kHz used by RFE)

North Asia, Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa (partly affected)

Australasia, South America (rarely affected)

1.4 Mobile Jamming History

The rapid proliferation of cell phones at the beginning of the 21st century to near
ubiquitous status eventually raised problems such as their potential use to attack
privacy, contribute to academic cheating, or even help in industrial intelligence. So In
addition public backlash was growing against the intrusive disruption cell phones
introduced in daily life. Older analogue cell phones often suffered from chronically
poor reception and could even be disconnected by simple interference e.g. high
frequency noise, increasingly sophisticated digital phones have led to more explained
counters. Jammers are an alternative to more expensive measures against mobile
phones, for example Faraday cages, those are mostly suitable as built in protection
for structures. They were basically developed for law enforcement and the military to
interrupt communications by criminals/terrorists. The civilian applications seemed, so
many companies originally contracted to design jammers for government use
switched over to sell these devices to personal things. There has been a slow but
steady increase in their purchasing and using, especially in major urbanite areas.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Literature Review

Electrical & electronic devices are part of our daily life and some of
them are become necessary for us or our need like computer,
microwave oven, fridge, ETC.
In past few years a new device had made its place in this list and we will not be
wrong if we say that now it is part of our life, which is Mobile or Cell Phone. The
production of mobile phone has increased rapidly and now almost 1/2 of the
population of the world use Mobile phone in their daily routine and no one will
oppose us if we say that Mobile have many benefits. Here is a graph showing the rate
of making and using of mobile in 2004 & 2103.

Figure 2.1
On the other hand everything has two expects one is good and other is bad and we as
an engineer have to rectify that bad expects.
Cell phone use has increased so much that almost every person has one in his pocket
and also using it in prohibited areas, where mobile phone use is not allowed. As in the
library, colleges, army area, mosques etc. To stop the use of mobile in these areas we
made this device naming Mobile phone jammer to prevent the use of Mobile in these
areas.

CHAPTER 3

Tools and Techniques

3.1 JAMMING TECHNIQUES

There are following techniques to design a mobile phone jammer.

A. Type A Device (JAMMERS)

Type A uses the oscillator circuits to transmit different frequencies, which are used by
communication media or mobile phones. Type A has also the Noise signal circuitry. This
noise signal when carried with the carrier frequencies creates a noise to the mobile phones.
The Mobile phones become unresponsive because of noise interferes with the mobile.

B. Type B Device
As type A, Type B devices are not communicating/transmitting a signal that interface
with cell phone. Such type of devices when placed in a selected area, play a role of
detector.
There is a specific in such devices ID for communicating with the base station (BS).

C. Type C Device
Type C devices are not transmitting a signal which will interface with on the
switching frequencies. When such types of devices are located in a specific area,
perform work as a beacon and are capable jamming/disabling a particular
application of cell phone inside the beacon coverage area.

D. Type D Device
This type of jammer behaves as a mini base station, which can communicate wisely or
stupidly to the mobile phone. These devices are in receiving mode of operation and
wisely choose to interrelate and block the cell phone directly if it is surrounded by
proximity of the jammer.

E. Type E Device
This technique is using electromagnetic interference (EMI) mechanism to make a
room that is known as Faraday cage'. This faraday cage blocks all electromagnetic
radiation entering or leaving the room.

3.2 JAMMER DESIGN PARAMETER

As described earlier we will block frequencies at which cell phones operate. So we
must have the knowledge of these frequencies at which mobile phones operate in
Pakistan.
We consult with PTA (Pakistan telecommunication authority) officials and other
internet resources to have these following figure and table.

Figure 3.1

The frequency of the transmitted signal will cover following frequency ranges.

160 MHz -230 MHz

TV(Cable)

370 MHz -450 MHz

TV(Cable)

680 MHz -770 MHz

3.2 Distance to be jammed

This parameter is very important in our project, as the amount of the output power of
the jammer depends on the area that to be jammed. We made the jammer that covers
the distance of five meters for GSM (900&1800), FM, and some TV Bands.

3.3 Jammingto-signal ratio {J/S}

Jamming is successful when the cell phones stop communication with the base
station/network. The best jammer is having the transmitting power equals to the
communicating signals power used by mobile phones or any transmitter or receiver.
The general equation of the jamming-to-signal ratio is given as follows:

J/s=PjGjrGrjR^2trLrBr/PtGtrGrtR^2jrLjBj

To successfully jam a specific area, we need to consider a very important parameter

the signal to noise ratio (SNR). Every device that working on radio communication
principles can only stand noise in a signal up to a certain level. This is called the SNR
handling capability of the device. Mostly cellular devices have a SNR handling
capability of around 12dB. A device having a SNR handling capability 9dB is a very
good device. So To ensure jamming of these devices, we need to reduce the signal to
noise ratio up to 9dB.

Free space loss {F}

We can get the free path loses using this Equation.
Free space loss F =Path loss (dB) =32.44+20log d (km) +20log f (MHz)

Here f is the frequency in MHz, andd is the distance in kilometers. Using the
GSM900 resonant frequency (915MHz) and a jamming radius of 5m, we get the value
of path 65.64dBm. This path loss is for free space only, and the path losses in air will
be greater. This means that the jamming radius will be less than the 5m used to
calculate this value.

Free space loss F =Path loss (dB) =32.44+20log d (0.05) +20log f (915)
F=65.64

3.5 Power Calculations

Here, we need to find the power that is needed to transmit to jam any cell phone, FM
and TV within a distance of around 5 meters. So using above considerations, we can
find output power required by device which is given below.
Using SNR=9 dB and the maximum power signal for mobile receiver= -15 dBm,
SNR=S/N
We Know S=-15 & SNR=9:
J= -15/9
J=N= -15-9
J= -24
J = -24dBm.
Thus we have needed jamming signal strength of -24dBm at the mobile devices
reception to successfully jam it. However, our transmitted signal will undergo some
attenuation while transmitting through antenna of the jammer and in exposed air. So
this path loss can be calculated using the simple free space path loss approximation.
To obtain resultant output power we will add the value of J the value of free path
loss.
Output power=-24dBm+65.64dB = 41.64dBm

Summary
So there are different methods /techniques of jamming as described above. We have
implemented type A because it is simple and easy to make such type jammer. Others
are complex and their components availability is difficult.
After selection of type we decide other jamming design parameters those are
important for designing jammer, due to Law enforcement and device working.

Following figure shows the half and full wave bridge rectifier.
Figure 4.6

4.1.1 Triangle Wave Generator:

To generate a saw tooth wave (triangular) form we used LM555 timer.
It has following pin configuration and characteristics.

Pin configuration

Figure 4.7
Characteristics
It is a stable device and can operate at 4 to 15 volts easily. It can be replaced by SE
555 and NE 555. It is avail in eight pin package IC. It is used pulse generation, pulse
modulation, time delay, pulse position modulation.

Modes of Operations
It has two modes of operations
i) Mono stable only positive cycle or there is only high output.
ii) A stable in which both +ve & -ve cycles comes on output.
So we have used As table operation due to generating continues triangular wave form.

Astable Operation of 555 in our project

In A stable mode the NE555 can use as an oscillator. The applications of A stable
mode are LED and flashers, pulse generation and security system etc.
As we want to generate a clock which will generate the frequency of 105 KHz and
voltage of 0 to 5V, A stable mode is the best configuration to produce this frequency
as in our project we will need a simple clock pulse. The circuit configuration for A
stable mode is given in figure below.

Figure 4.8
The main component of the A stable mode of NE555 is the capacitor. In A stable
mode it can divide into two parts charging and discharging of a capacitor, repeat
continuously. The charging and discharging of a capacitor through resistors connected
either to Vcc.

Working Principle of 555 Timer in A stable Operation Mode

555 Timer is used to create the triangular wave. Its operation includes the simple
charging and discharging of a capacitor. The main components through which it
charges and discharges are the two resistors and capacitors. We used one of the
resistors as variable resistor and other of 1K ohm. The circuit is simple RC circuit.
The detailed operation of Timer can be explained by 4 different stages along with
their operating diagrams as shown below:

Figure 4.9

Stage1
At first stage Supply Voltage (Vcc) is applied, this time the capacitor is empty and
there is practically no charge on the capacitor because, the lower comparator of the
timer has more negative input than the positive of it. That creates a signal to the
output of the comparator which set the flip flop. This leads to the high output of the
Timer.

Figure 4.10

Stage2
At second stage, the capacitor's charging increases. The output of the Timer is high,
because of the latch of flip flop. But the output of the lower comparator is low.

Figure 4.11

Stage3:
At third stage, the capacitor is charged up to 2/3 of the Vcc voltage. At this stage, the
upper comparator's positive input is more than its negative input. The output of the
upper comparator is now become high and will cause the reset of 'Flip Flop'. The
Timer's output will now become low.

Figure 4.12

Stage4
When the preceding procedure occurs, the output of the Timer becomes low due to the
reset of 'Flip Flop' of upper comparator.
Now the negative output Q (bar) will become active. This will give a signal to the
base of transistor so that the pin7 becomes input of the Timer. Now the transistor
conducts through collector and emitter, and finally the capacitor starts discharging.
These phenomena of charging and discharging of capacitor will continue and a
triangular wave is generated due to the charging and discharging of capacitor. This
triangular wave is basically our Noise signal.

Figure 4.13

Output of LM 555
This figure shows the output of LM 555 timer on oscilloscope it is a saw tooth wave
form.
Figure 4.14

Calculations of Charging and Discharging Time Period:

The charging time period of capacitor can be determine by using formula:
T1=0.693(RA+RB) C1
For charging both resistor are used.
For discharging time period, the capacitor will discharge only by a resistor RB. The
following formula is used to determine the discharging time period:
T2=0.693(RB) C1
So total time period is given by
T=T1+T2
As we know that frequency is inversely proportional to time period so the output
frequency can be calculated as:
f=1/T
By putting values of T we get
f=1.44/ (RA+2RB) C1

In our project, we used RA =1K RB = 8 K with C=0.0008 F, then the output

frequency is 105 KHz Since we use +12 V power supply, the amplitude of output
signal will be bounded from 4 V (Vcc/3) to 8Volts (2Vcc/3).The output of the 555
timer is shown in the figure below:

Figure 4.15

Noise Amplification
For noise amplification we used LM386. It has following pin configuration and
characteristics.
Figure 4.16

Characteristics
Low voltage consumption high frequency power amplifier.it has low quiescent current
and voltages.
It has voltage gain from 20 to 200 dB and low distortion.
It is used as RF Power Amplifiers on VHF Band Mobile, AM-FM Radio Applications
and TV sound system.
LM386 has different pin connection for obtaining different gain. Since in jammer we
have required maximum gain so if its pin eight and one are common through a
capacitor then it gives high gain 200dB.
Following figure shows this high gain pin confectioning.

Figure 4.17

Amplification through LM 386 in our Project

For amplification the noise, we use LM386, noise power amplifier which is design for
use in low voltage consumption applications. The internal gain of LM386 is internally
set to 20 to keep the external part at low count, but by adding some resistor and
capacitor externally between the pin 1 and pin 8 that will increase the value of gain up
to 200 or may be adjustable.
We use pin 3 which is available for +ve input for amplification. We put our input to
pin 3 which have no phase shift. As pin 7 is bypass pin we bypass it by using a
capacitor. We put the input pin 2 to the ground which is use for ve input, because we
dont need the phase shift of 180 degree. The input voltage for LM386 not less than
0.4v therefore we use coupling capacitor and variable resistor which increase or
decrease the voltage up to this level. From this we can get desire output from
amplifier. The output of LM386 comes from pin 5 which gives to the RF section.
Figure 4.18

This figure shows the output of LM 386 on oscilloscope.

Behind the transistor is the regulated circuit which is to make the input according to in

this regulated circuit will make that input according to transistor.

RF Amplifier
We used a 2SC1970 transistor as RF amplifier, Intermediate frequency is given at the
base and output is taken from collector which is given to an oscillator circuit for
amplification.

It has following main characteristics

2SC1970 is a Silicon NPN Transistor designed for RF Power Amplifiers on VHF

Band Mobile Radio Applications.
It has High Power Gain.
Output Power range is from 0.8-1 Watt.

Tanks Circuit
The combination of capacitor and inductor that exchange energy back and forth is
called Tank circuit. An inductor stores energy as a magnetic field and a capacitor
stores energy as an electric field. The exchange of energy between them would go on
forever; but we need a refilling signal practically. By choosing the suitable values of
components, the frequency or energy of exchange can be obtained.
Figure 4.23

Above is the tanks circuit which we have used in our project. And we use 12V DC
power supply to refill the signal or continue oscillation.

LC circuits
A capacitor is used to stores energy in electric field between its plates, which depend
on the voltage across it; on the other hand an inductor is used to stores energy in
magnetic field that depends on the current flowing through the inductor. If a capacitor
is charged and connected across an inductor charge will flow through the inductor and
generate a magnetic field around the inductor, and reduce the voltage on the capacitor.
Until the capacitor completely discharge. The current will flow because inductors
resist change in current and energy will discharge from the magnetic field to keep the
current flow. This flow of current will charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite
polarity. When the magnetic field is totally dissipated the current will stop and the
charge stored in the capacitor will flow through the inductor with the opposite polarity
and the cycle is completed.

Figure 4.24

Resonance effect
The resonance effect takes place when inductive reactance and capacitive reactance
are equal in value. Resonance is the effect in a system to produce oscillation at larger
amplitude at certain frequencies than other frequencies. These frequencies are the
resonant frequencies
Resonant frequency is given by
W=1/2pi*under root LC

Leakage
Resistors

Figure 4.26
Leakage current is the major drawback in any circuit; from these resistors we can
prevent leakage current. Leakage is the gradual loss of energy from a charged
capacitor. It is caused by electronic devices that attached to the capacitors, like a
transistors, these devices conduct a low value current even when they are turned off.
This current is called off current, because of this current less magnitude current pass
through the device when it is on; this current still discharges the capacitor. There is
another kind of leakage which is called dielectric leakage, contributor due to the
imperfection of some dielectric materials used in capacitors, due to this dielectric
material having some non-zero conductivity which causes the leakage of current from
the capacitor and capacitor discharged. If these resistors are not used in circuit then
this leakage current will disturb the output of the circuit and also disturb the output
frequency

Antenna:
An aerial/antenna is a transducer made to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves
or convert electromagnetic waves into electrical currents and so on. Aerial/ Antennas
are used in radio and television distribution, steeplechase radio communication,
wireless LAN, radar etc.. . Antennas frequently work in air but can also be run under
water or soil and rock at certain frequencies for specific distances.
Antenna is important for each wireless system and our jammer is also transmitting
frequencies in air that is why we also need an antenna for this reason. A suitable
antenna is required to transmit the jamming signal magnificently. In order to have
optimal power transfer, the antenna system must be corresponding to the transmission
system. In our project, we used six (6) antennas, with fifty i/p impedance so that the
antennas are matched to the system. We used monopole antenna later the radiation
pattern is Omni-directional.
Specifications:
Frequency: 40Hz-1GHz
Length=234/f
Input impedance 50
VSWR<2

Summary
A triangular wave is generated and is amplified which is used as noise or as
intermediate frequency. We used 555 time IC for creating noise of 104 kHz
frequency. This noise is then amplified by LM386 and fed at the base of 2SC1970
which is NPN silicon RF amplifier. The output of this amplifier from collector is
given to oscillator circuit and amplified and transmitted through omni directional
antenna.

Results and Analysis.

5.1 Result
As we tested our jamming device, the consequence was a full achievement. The
expedient was able to jam all the systems. The actual jamming range was between 5
meters. This is more than what it was intended for. The reason is that in our controls,
we measured the worst case of having the cell phone close to the base station. It is
predictable that as the distance between the cell phone and the base station increases,
the real jamming distance will increase. This is due to the datum that the amount of
power reaching the cell phone from the base station reductions as the cell phone
moves past from the base station. The Number displays the consequences. It can be
obviously seen that the signal is "ON" when the jammer is "OFF", while the signal
vanishes when the jammer is "ON".

Testing of GSM 900 & 1800

We have tested our jammer on all networks available in Pakistan.
When jammer is off a network on cell phone has full signal and jammer is on then
there is no signal. All results shown in following figures

Applications
Multiband Jammer is widely used in the offices, Conference rooms, Police, Army and in all
that places where security is required.
Some of the common applications of Jammer are as under:
Meeting and Conference Rooms.
By Millitary forces against enemies.
By Police against terrorists, thieves and robbers etc.
Masjids for creating silence.
In Jail against prisoners communication.
Hospitals to make doctors attention only for patients.
Examination Halls to avoid cheating.
Oil and Gas Storage/Pumps.
Factories where usage of the mobile phone is prohibited.
ClassRooms to make students focusing on study.
In libraries to create silence.
At Homes to save from youngsters the access use of mobile phones.

Conclusion..

6.1 Consluion
Every technology has its own merits and demerits.it depends upon users how he uses
it.
Mobile phones jamming is technolgy which is used to jammng cell phones.
We have designed a mobile phone jammer which simplest to operate and have very
low cost.
Through this project we learned about single stage passive components and their
working in detail.we have also got a lot knowledge about wierless communication and
mobile phones technology especially about GSM.
Law prohibits the use of jammer because it blocks signal and funcitoning of device
stops.for example jammer can stop the working of GSM alarm installed in industry or
at home for security purpose.So we should use jammer for good purpose not for bad
ones.
