 Introduction
The main scope of project is to sense the presence of an
activated mobile phone from a distance of one-and-a-half
meters to prevent the use of same in the examination halls.

In this project an RF detector using tuned LC circuits is formed

for detecting signals in the GHz frequency band used in mobile
phones as the transmission frequency of mobile phone ranges
from 0.9 to 3 GHz.

When the mobile phone is activated the RF transmission signal

is detected by the detector and starts sounding a beep alarm
and the LED blinks.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Definition for :- EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

•A combination of hardware and software

which together form a component of a larger
machine.
•An example of an embedded system is a
microprocessor that controls an automobile
engine.
•An embedded system is designed to run on
its own without human intervention, and
may be required to respond to events in real
time.

 Power Supply
Battery:-

•An electrical battery is a combination

of one or more electrochemical cells,
used to convert stored chemical energy
into electrical energy.
•The battery has become a common
power source for many household,
robotics and industrial applications.
•Larger batteries provide standby
power for telephone exchanges or
computer data centres.
 Piezo Buzzer
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device,
which may be mechanical or electromechanical
piezoelectric.

A piezoelectric element may be driven by an

oscillating electronic circuit or other audio signal
source, driven with a piezoelectric audio amplifier .
 555 Timer
The 555 Timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip)
implementing a variety of timer and
multivibrator applications.

•The 555 has three operating modes:

•Monostable mode: In this mode, the 555 functions as a "one-
shot". Applications include timers, missing pulse detection,
switches, touch switches, frequency divider, capacitance
measurement, pulse-width modulation (PWM) etc.
•Astable - free running mode: The 555 can operate as an
oscillator. Uses include LED and lamp flashers, pulse generation,
logic clocks, tone generation, security alarms, pulse position
modulation, etc.
•Bistable mode or Schmitt trigger: The 555 can operate as a flip-
flop, if the DIS pin is not connected and no capacitor is used.
Uses include bounce free latched switches, etc.
Internal Architecture of
555 Timer
 LM 339 Comparator
• The LM339 consists of four independent precision voltage
comparators

•The LM339 series was designed to directly interface with TTL and
CMOS.

•When operated from both plus and minus power supplies, the
LM339 series will directly interface with MOS logic where their
low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard
comparators.
 BC548 (NPN-TRANSISTOR)
•The BC548 transistor is an NPN Epitaxial Silicon Transistor.

•It is used in general-purpose switching and amplification

BC848/BC548 series 45 V, 100 mA NPN general-purpose
transistors.

•The ratio of two currents (Ic/Ib) is called the DC Current Gain of

the device and is given the symbol of hfe or nowadays Beta, (β).

 Future Scope

• Trying to increase the detecting range of

mobile bug to few more meters for observing
wide ranges of area. In the future time this
detector will be improved in all ways.

• In future we could be able to detect any

range of frequency over a meters of range
and this will be very useful to detect the cell
phones where the cell phones are prohibited.
 Advantages
(a) In many places like Aeroplane, conference room , prison ,
power plants etc. where using of mobile phone is prohibited,
there for security, we can use this device.

(b) In examination, use of cell phone is prohibited. So for checking

candidate, we can use this handy tool.

(c) The signals emitted by mobile phones can interfere with some
electronic equipment inside the hospital. This could have fatal
consequences. The GSM-detector can be placed in any area
where the use of mobile phones could interfere with sensitive
devices. The audio alarm will sound when a phone is used and
this way, the person should immediately switch off his/her phone.
 Limitation

Range of the circuit:

The prototype version has only limited
range of 2 meters. But if a preamplifier stage using
JFET or MOSFET transistor is used as an interface
between the capacitor and IC, range can be
increased.
 Application

(a) Colleges and Universities, Cinemas,

Theatres, Restaurants / Hotels, Petrol stations, Airplanes,
Conference rooms, Hospitals, Prisons, Power plants, this
handy tool can be used for security reason.

(b) if the cell phone being lost, then using

this device, we can search the phone.
 Conclusion
This pocket-size mobile transmission detector or sniffer can sense the
presence of an activated mobile cellphone from a distance of one and-a-
half meters. So it can be used to prevent use of mobile phones in
examination halls, confidential rooms, etc. It is also useful for detecting the
use of mobile phone for spying and unauthorized video transmission.

In this project we made an attempt to design a mobile detector which

can detect both the incoming and outgoing calls as well as video
transmission even if the mobile is kept at the silent mode. Our circuit has
detected the presence of an active mobile phone even at a distance of
about one and half a meter. It gave the indication of an active mobile
phone by glowing the LED, according to the receiving frequency and by
buzzing the sound of the buzzer. The alarm continues until the signal is
ceases.
