It is really a great pleasure for us to transform an entire concept into a reality

project. This project has indeed helped us to grasp the theory aspects from practical
perspective and know clearly the difference existing between them. It has also
increased our troubleshooting skills.
It was, though a first hand experience in project building, it inculcated in us
a great awareness in all the stages of project building fight from purchase of
components until mounting them to circuit board which could be never have been
accomplished in classrooms.
We would like sincerely express our gratitude to all faculty members
who directly or indirectly guide us throughout the project and without whom this
project would have never been turned into a reality. We would specially like to
thank our term project faculty
Last but not least we are also thankful to our department for keeping such a
term project as a part of our academic curriculum.

 WHY HAVE WE CHOSEN THIS PROJECT????

Today in this globalized society communication has become the most
integral part.
People are communicating with each other using telephone, cell phones and
many other such devices.
Above all cell phones are the most used for communication and are carried
by most of people.
But increasing use of cell phones has its advantages and disadvantages.
They are being misused.
So to prevent this unauthorized use of cell phones, we have chosen this
project.

MOBILE BUG

The circuit can detect both the incoming and outgoing calls, sms and video
transmission even if the cell phone is kept in the silent mode.
The moment the bug detects RF transmission signals from an activated cell
phones, it starts sounding a beep alarm and LED blinks.
The alarm continues until the transmission ceases.
An ordinary RF detector using tuned LC circuits is not suitable for detecting
signals in the Ghz frequency band used in cell phones.
The transmission frequency of cell phones ranges from 0.9 to 3 Ghz with a
wavelength of 10 to 33.33 cm. So a circuit detecting Ghz signals is required
for a mobile bug.
Here the circuit uses a 0.22F disc capacitor(C3) to capture the RF signals
from the cell phones.

INTRODUCTION

This circuit will detect activated cell phones in the range of 1 to 2 meters.
Its basic circuit block diagram is shown below.

OUTPUT

Detecting circuit consist of an antenna and a disc capacitor which acts as a

small Ghz loop antenna.
It is followed by IC CA3130 which is a current to voltage convertor and the
output of the IC is connected to transistor.
Then

a delay circuit using timer is used to generate a small delay for better

audio output.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Opamp IC CA3130(IC1) is used in the circuit as a current to voltage

convertor with capacitor C3 connnected between its inverting and
noninverting inputs.
It is a CMOS version using gate protected P- channel MOSFET transistors
in the input to provide a very high input impedence, very low input current
and very high speed of performance.
The output CMOS transistor is capable of swinging the output voltage to
within 10 mV of either supply terminals.
Capacitors C3 in conjunction with the lead inductance acts as a transmission
line that intercepts the signals from the cell phone.
This capacitor creates a field, stores energy and transfers the stored energy in
the form of minute currents to the inputs of IC1.
This wil upset the balanced inputs of IC1 and converts the current into the
corresponding output voltage.

 Capacitor C4 along with higher value resistor R1 keeps the noninverting

input stable for easy swing of the output to high state.
Resistor R2 provides the discharge path for capacitor C4.
Feedback resistor R3 makes the inverting input high when the output
becomes high.
Capacitor C5(47pF) is connected across strobe (pin 8) and null inputs(pin
1) of IC1 for phase compensation and gain control to optimize the frequency
response.
When the cell phone signal is detected by C3, the output of IC 1 becomes
high and low alternatively according to the frequency of the signal as
indicated by LED1.
This triggers monostable timer IC2 through capacitor C7. Capacitor C6
maintains the base bias of transistor T1 for fast switching action.

The low value timing components R6 and C9 produces very short time delay
to avoid audio nuisance.

APPLICATIONS

The use of the circuit is to prevent misuse of cell phones.

It can be used in examination hall, confidential room or other places where
use of cell phones is prohibited.
It is also used for the detecting the use of cell phones for spying and
unauthorized video transmission.

PRECAUTIONS

Make sure that the voltage supply is not greater than 12 volts.
Make sure that the components are well handled as they are frequency
sensitive.
