DLD Project Report

This document describes a mobile phone detector circuit that can sense when a cell phone is activated within 1.5 meters. The circuit uses an op-amp integrated circuit and passive components like capacitors and resistors to detect incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, and video transmissions from a mobile phone, even when it is on silent mode. When a signal is detected, an LED will blink and an alarm will sound until the signal stops. The compact design allows it to fit inside a small enclosure like an old mobile phone case, making it pocket-sized. The device is intended to prevent unauthorized mobile phone use in places like exam halls or confidential meetings.

Introduction:

This handy, pocket-size mobile transmission detector or sniffer can sense the presence of an activated
mobile cell phone 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. The circuit can detect the incoming and outgoing
calls, SMS and video transmission even if the mobile phone is kept in the silent mode. The moment the
Bug detects RF transmission signal from an activated mobile phone, it starts sounding a beep alarm and
the LED blinks. The alarm continues until the signal transmission ceases. Assemble the circuit on a
general purpose PCB as compact as possible and enclose in a small box like junk mobile case. As
mentioned earlier, capacitor C3 should have a lead length of 18 mm with lead spacing of 8 mm. Carefully
solder the capacitor in standing position with equal spacing of the leads. The response can be optimized
by trimming the lead length of C3 for the desired frequency. You may use a short telescopic type
antenna. Use the miniature 9V battery to make the gadget pocket-size. The unit will give the warning
indication if someone uses Mobile phone within a radius of 1.5 meters.

As increase in the technology in the world using the electronic equipment’s are being used in a wrong
way like, in the examination halls and confidential rooms. To avoid this we are introducing a project
called CELLPHONE DETECTOR This handy, pocket-size mobile transmission detector or sniffer can sense
the presence of an activated mobile cell phone 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. The circuit can
detect the incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and video transmission even if the mobile phone is kept in
the silent mode. The moment the Bug detects RF transmission signal from an activated mobile phone,
the LED starts blinking. The alarm continues until the signal transmission ceases. Problem Statement
Previously, there was no technology to detect the cell phones in the examination hall and in cell phone
restricted areas. There is manual checking and there is still a chance of having the cell phone with the
person if he is not checked properly. So to avoid this problem, an automatic detection of cell phone is
introduced. Motivation Cell phones are used in good way and also in a bad way. When the class is going
on, students intend to use their cell phones and not listening to what is being taught. These days,
students are also carrying their cell phones to the examination halls to copy which would help them to
get good marks. To avoid this problem, the cell phone detector is introduce.

Circuit Explanation:
In this circuit, we have used a CA3130 OP-Amp IC for detecting
incoming or outgoing signal around it.  Op-amp non-inverting end is
connected to Vcc through 2.2M resistor and it is also connected to the
ground through 100K resistor and 100uF Capacitor. Its inverting
terminal is feedback from its output through a 2.2M resistor for amplify
the signal. Two 100nF capacitors are connected between inverting and
non-inverting terminal, working as loop antenna for the system. Two
100nF capacitors are connected in series between Pin 1 and 8 of op-
amp to boost the gain of the current to voltage converter at its output
pin.
Output of this op-amp is connected at the base of NPN transistor namely
BC547 through a 1k resistor and a LED is connected at its emitter for
indication. And a 9 volt battery is used for powering the circuit. Rests of
connections are shown in the Circuit Diagram below.

Working Explanation:
This circuit consist an op-amp with some active passive components. A
LED and buzzer are used for indication of presence of cellphone. Op-amp
is configured as Frequency Detector or Current to Voltage Converter
and its output is connected to a LED. Working of Mobile Detector is
simple. Two 100nF capacitors (C2 and C3), in parallel, are used for
detecting RF signal from Mobile Phone. These capacitors are working as
loop antenna   for the system. When there is any call or SMS then
capacitors in parallel detect the data transmission frequencies or RF
signal and output of op-amp goes high or low (fluctuating) due to
generated current at the input side of op-amp. Due to these fluctuations,
LED turns on and off through NPN transistor according to the signal’s
frequency.
